No. 9. What a Precious Savior. F. S. S. COPYRIGHT, 1896, BY E. O. EXCELL F. S. SHEPARD. I. I stand be-hold-ing Calvary's cross Where Christ,my Sav-ior, died; 2. What grief and pain was Thine, O Christ! As thus Thy life was giv'n 3. What wondrous love was thus made known, How rich and free His grace! I humbly bow on. Cal vary, Accept His grace so free; 4. see Him hanging on the tree, For sinners cru-cified. To save us from the pow'r of death, And win our souls for heav'n. That gave the Fa-ther's on- ly Son To save a ruined race. The Sav-ior's sac - ri- fice and love, At last has conquored me. CHORUS. What a precious Savior, Great and glo-rious Sav-ior, What a precious Savior is Christ the Lord; What a precious Savior, Great and glorious Savior, What a precious Savior is Christ, the Lord. dark with-out you,-dark-er still with in? Clear the darkened pray'rs un-ans-wer'd by your God above? Clear. the darkened naught of darkness,-dwelling in the day? Clear the darkened windows, o - pen wide the door, Let a little sun-shine in. CHORUS. Let a lit-tle sun-shine in ... Let a lit-tle sunshine in; . . the sunshine in, the sunshine in, Clear the darkened windows, open wide the door, Let a little sunshine in. Only a few weary years I know Till I shall sleep; Vis-ions of glo- ry, dear Lord, ap-pear To glad - den me: Soon Thou wilt o-pen heav'n's golden gate And call me home; Peace-fully sleep when my race is run, Glad - ly go home when my work is done, Heav'n's joys to reap,heav'n's joys to in ra.- diance roam, no more .to reap. free. roam. |
