Hymn

Since Jesus Came Into My Heart

Rufus H. McDaniel

Metre Irregular

What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought

Since Jesus came into my heart;

I have light in my soul for which long I had sought,

Since Jesus came into my heart.

Since Jesus came into my heart,

Since Jesus came into my heart;

Floods of joy o'er my soul like the sea billows roll,

Since Jesus came into my heart.

I have ceased from my wand'ring and going astray,

Since Jesus came into my heart;

And my sins which were many are all washed away,

Since Jesus came into my heart.

I'm possessed of a h pe that is steadfast and sure,

Since Jesus came into my heart;

And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure,

Since Jesus came into my heart.

There's a light in the valley of death now for me,

Since Jesus came into my heart;

And the gates of the City beyond I can see,

Since Jesus came into my heart.

I shall go there to dwell in that City I know,

Since Jesus came into my heart;

And I'm happy, so happy, as onward I go,

Since Jesus came into my heart.
