I Have Read Within The Bible
How A Sinner Vile And Low,
Need But Come In Faith To Jesus
To Be Washed As White As Snow;
How The Heart, So Stained And Wicked,
Hardened By The Guilt Of Sin,
May Be Purified And Softened,
Till The Lord Will Dwell Within.
I Have Read Within The Bible
What His Favor Will Impart;
And, Oh, Glory! I Have Proved It,
Now ‘Tis True Within My Heart.
I Have Read How Sin Was Conquered
When He Bled Upon The Tree,
How Its Binding Chains Were Broken
That The Captives Might Be Free;
How I Need Not Still Do Evil,
And Repent From Day To Day,
But Should Find His Grace Sufficient,
Keeping Sinless All The Day.
I Have Read How A Believer,
One Who Knows His Wrongs Forgiven,
May Be Cleansed From Sin Completely,
Made As Pure And Clean As Heaven;
Have The Very Root Of Evil
From His Being Swept Away,
Leaving In His Joyous Bosom
An Unending Sabbath Day.
I Have Read And Have Believed It,
How The Holy Ghost Would Come,
In His Power And His Glory,
Make The Heart Of Man His Home;
Keep It As A Sacred Temple,
Seal Its Door To Every Foe,
And Preserve It Pure And Holy
All Life’s Journey Here Below.
