64.  I Love Him

Gone from my heart the world and all its charms; Now through the blood I’m saved from all alarms; Down at the cross my heart is bending low; The precious blood of Jesus cleanses white as snow.

I love him, I love him, because he first loved me, And purchased my salvation on Calv’ry’s tree.

2.

Once I was lost, and way down deep in sin; Once was a slave to passions fierce within; Once was afraid to meet an angry God But now I’m cleansed from ev’ry stain through Jesus’ blood.

I love him, I love him, because he first loved me, And purchased my salvation on Calv’ry’s tree.

3.

Once I was bound, but now I am set free; Once I was blind, but now the light I see; Once I was dead, but now in Christ I live, To tell the world around the peace that he doth give.

I love him, I love him, because he first loved me, And purchased my salvation on Calv’ry’s tree.
