205. He Took My Sins Away

1 Once I fought to conquer sin,
While it reigned my soul within;
Till my Saviour came one day;
Then He triumphed over all,
When He heard my pleading call,
And He took my sins away.

Refrain:
He took my sins away,
Took them all away,
Christ the Saviour took my sins away;
Contentment fills my soul,
His spirit has control,
Since Jesus took my sins away.

2 O the wonder-working pow’r,
In that happy, blessed hour
When my Saviour spoke to me;
And I heard the precious word,
From this wonder working Lord,
When from sin He set me free. [Refrain]

3 Are you struggling for the right,
Jesus has the pow’r and might;
He will help you conquer sin;
He will take its pow’r away,
He will come with you to stay,
And will give you peace within. [Refrain]
