The New Church Hymnal ‎#431

431. Since the Fullness of His Love Came In

1 Once my way was dark and dreary,
For my heart was full of sin;
But the sky is bright and cheery,
Since the fullness of His love came in.

Refrain:
I can never tell how much I love Him;
I can never tell His love for me.
For it passeth human measure,
Like a deep, unfathomed sea.
'Tis redeeming love in Christ, my Savior;
In my soul the heav'nly joys begin;
And I live for Jesus only,
Since the fullness of His love came in.

2 There is grace for all the lowly,
Grace to keep the trusting soul;
Pow'r to cleanse and make me holy.
Jesus shall my yielded life control. [Refrain]

3 Let me spread abroad the story,
Other souls to Jesus win;
For the Cross is now my glory,
Since the fullness of His love came in. [Refrain]
