The Wonderful Change

Verse 1

All weights are gone, my heart is light, My scarlet robes are changed to white; O praise the Lord! I need no more My load of sin and guilt deplore.

Chorus

O I am saved in Jesus' blood, My soul is happy now in God; O glory! glory! can it be! The Prince of Peace has come to me.

Verse 2

Where passions reigned and tempers foamed, Now Jesus sits in love enthroned; No dregs of carnal strife are found, But hope, and love, and peace abound.

Verse 3

O wondrous grace! how great the change! My soul now takes her joyful range, 'Mid scenes of beauty in the light, Where all before was gloomy night.

Verse 4

The gilded glory of this world Eclipsed, and into nothing hurled, Before the super-excellence Of Heaven's peace and righteousness.
