2.
I heard the glad gospel of " good will to men;"
|
3-
On, mercy surprising ! He saves even me !
|
|
|
|
I read " whosoever " again and again;
|
" Thy portion for ever," He says, "will I be;"
|
|
|
|
I said to my soul, "Can that promise be thine?"
|
On His word I am resting—assurance divine—
|
|
|
|
And then began hoping that Jesus was mine.
|
I am " hoping " no longer, I know He is mine.
|
|
|
|
I hoped He was mine, yes, I hoped He was mine,
|
I know He is mine, yes, I know He is mine,
|
|
|
|
And then began hoping that Jesus was mine.
|
I'm hoping no longer,—I know He is mine.
