Not all our carelessness,
Not all our sin,
Kept Him from calling us,
Who died to win;
In love unspeakable,
Jesus drew nigh,
And He has saved our souls,
Now—you and I.
He took us up to find
That we were lost,
He gave us hearts to feel
What pardon cost;
He gave us eyes to see
Why He did die;
We know and trust in Him,
Now—you and I.
Oh! what a taste it is!
Herein is love!
What an eternity
Waits us above!
Not for ten million joys
Earth can supply
Would we exchange our hope
Now—you and I.
Well do we know this hope
Cannot prove vain;
His faithful word is passed,
"I'll come again!”
Down here we live in Him,
While, by faith's eye,
Looking up, wait for Him,
Now—you and I.
