Transformation

Lyricist: Anonymous, 1885
Composer: Howard Entwisle

Once my eyes saw no­thing come­ly

In the low­ly Na­za­rene

All His grace was hid­den from me

By the clouds of sin be­tween;

I was blind

but now I see—

Jesus paid the debt for me.

I was blind

but now I see—

Jesus paid the debt for me.

Once my ears could find no mu­sic

In His ten­der

plead­ing voice;

Now He speaks

and each low whis­per

Makes my trem­bling heart re­joice.

His dear word hath made me free—

Oh

what bound­less li­ber­ty!

His dear word hath made me free—

Oh

what bound­less li­ber­ty!

Once my robes

by sin pol­lut­ed

Were as fil­thy rags un­clean;

In the great King’s roy­al pre­sence

I could nev­er thus be seen.

I am whit­er now than snow—

Jesus’ blood has made me so.

I am whit­er now than snow—

Jesus’ blood has made me so.

Once I roamed in des­erts drea­ry

Sought in vain a place of rest;

Now my soul

no long­er wea­ry

Leans en­tranced up­on His breast.

Blessedness be­yond de­gree

Jesus is a rest for me!

Blessedness be­yond de­gree

Jesus is a rest for me!

Hallelujah

what a Sav­ior!

Half His love was nev­er told;

I have found His king­ly fav­or

Richer trea­sure far than gold.

Praise Him

O my ran­somed soul

While eter­nal ag­es roll.

Praise Him

O my ran­somed soul

While eter­nal ag­es roll.

Oh

that all who hear the sto­ry

For them­selves would taste and see;

Come to Him; His ban­ner o’er thee

Everlasting love shall be.

To Thy wea­ry soul be giv­en

Rest on earth and rest in Heav­en.

To Thy wea­ry soul be giv­en

Rest on earth and rest in Heav­en.
