54. I once was a sinner

1. I once was a sinner, but I came,

   Pardon to receive from my Lord;

   This was freely given and I found

   That he always kept His word.

   There's a new name written down in glory,

   And it's mine, O yes it's mine;

   And the white-robed angels sing the story,

   A sinner has come home,

   For there's a new name written down in glory,

   And it's mine, O yes it's mine,

   With my sins forgiven, I am bound for heaven,

   Nevermore to roam.

2. In the book is written, 'Saved by grace,"

   O the joy that came to my soul;

   Now I am forgiven and I know

   By the blood I am made whole.
