A Long Time I Wandered
In Darkness And Sin,
And Wondered If Ever
The Light Would Shine In;
I Heard Christian Friends Speak
Of Raptures Divine,
And I Wished How I Wished
That Their Savior Were Mine.
I Heard The Glad Gospel
Of “Good Will To Men”;
I Read “Whosoever”
Again And Again;
I Said To My Soul,
“Can That Promise Be Thine?”
And Then Began Hoping
That Jesus Was Mine.
Oh, Mercy Surprising!
He Saves Even Me!
“Thy Portion Forever,”
He Says, “Will I Be”;
On His Word I Am Resting
Assurance Divine:
I Am “Hoping” No Longer,
I Know He Is Mine.
