69. A New Name in Glory

1
I was once a sinner, but I came
 
Pardon to receive from my Lord:
 
This was freely given, and I found
 
That He always keeps His Word.
 
There’s a new name written down in glory,
 
And it’s mine! O yes, it’s mine!
 
And the white-robed angels tell the story,
 
“A sinner has come home!”
 
For there’s a new name written down in glory,
 
And it’s mine! O yes, it’s mine!
 
With my sins forgiven I am bound for heaven,
 
Never more to roam.
2
I was humbly kneeling at the cross,
 
Fearing naught but God’s angry frown,
 
When the heavens opened and I saw
 
That my name was written down.
3
In the Book ‘tis written, “Saved by Grace,”
 
O the joy that came to my soul!
 
Now I am forgiven, and I know
 
By His blood I am made whole.
