1 Blessed the hour when Jesus first spoke
Peace to my soul, which, burdened with sin,
Long had been struggling, sad and alone;
Blessed the hour when Jesus came in.
Refrain:
Blessed the hour when Jesus, my Savior,
Entered my life, and made me His child!
2 Constantly near wherever I go,
Jesus, my guide, protector and friend,
Gives me a joy the world cannot know;
Glorious friendship, never to end. [Refrain]
3 Soon shall I come to life’s closing scenes;
Soon earthly journ’yings all shall be past;
Jesus, my Savior, true to the end,
Then shall receive and give me sweet rest. [Refrain]
