18.  A New Name in Glory

I was once 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, Never more to roam.

I was humbly kneeling at the cross, Fearing naught but God’s angry frown; When the heavens opened and I saw That my name was written down.

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, Never more to roam.

3.

In the Book ’tis 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.

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, Never more to roam.
