P. 337

I feel it deep in my heart this day;
                  I was a stranger, but Jesus brought me,
                    He has a mission and I will help.
                            CHORUS
                    He died for me, and gave me life,
                And with His blood all my sins were erased;
              What boundless kindness, that Jesus showed me,
                  His Spirit baptized and saved my soul.
                               2
                   I walked in darkness, astray in error,
                     I lived in sin and I had no fear;
                   My life was lonely, it was not happy,
                  And condemnation would be my end.
                               3
                 Precious the tidings that came to my ears,
                 From God's own Messenger sent to earth;
                  He spoke of Jesus, and of His doctrine,
                    He came to offer to save my soul.
                               4
                  Now I have freedom, because of Jesus,
                   For He has pardoned all of my sins;
                   I live securely and have no fear now,
                   This blessed promise He gave to me.

                 462.  'TIS LOVELY TO BEAR
                        QUE GRATO ES LLEVAR

               'Tis lovely to bear in the soul a remembrance,
                That we were delivered from the seas of sin;
                 So with grateful spirit, we sing a new song,
                 A song which inspires great courage to all.
                            CHORUS
                   We all sing together, united as one,
                 For there's an Apostle that God sent to us;
               Who has been anointed, by God he's selected,
              He brought us together, and has given our souls;
                       The good news of peace.
                               THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD HYMNAL•  381
