354.  ALAS AND DID MY SAVIOR BLEED
                 ... ME HIR/0 El PECA DO
                Rom 6.6 PASSION/ Jn 14.16 GRACE
                Alas and did my Savior bleed,
                 And did my Sovereign die?
              Would He devote that sacred head,
                   For sinners such as I?
                       CHORUS
            //At the cross// where I first saw the light,
            And the burden of my heart rolled away;
            It was there by faith, I received my sight
              And with him I am happy every day.
                          2
              Thy body slain, sweet Jesus thine,
                And bathed in its own blood
                  For vile sinners such as I,
                 His love for all withstood.
                          3
            He conquered death, what mighty deed!
                   Exalted be His namel
               His grace shall ever be my need,
                 By Him my fears are tame.
                          4
               Though He arose, I'm not alone,
                  He sent His Holy Ghost,
               The mighty Spirit I have known,
                 His love my heart enclosed.
           355.  I FEEL SO VERY GLAD
                   ME 5/ENTO.fAN FELIZ
                 1 Car 9.2 JOY/ Ro 10.15 ELECTION
      I feel so very glad, just like the very first time that I heard,
            The sweet voice of my God, glory to Him;
                When I was told of my Jesus,
            I heard of the word they were preaching,
                 That there's a Man of God.
