Hymn 44

Now once my heart was full of sin and shame

For me to lIve is Christ, to die is gain, To hold His hand, and walk His narrow way, There is no peace, no joy, no thrill, Like walking in His will:, For me to live is Christ, to die is gain.

Hymn 44

Now once my heart was full of sin and shame

For me to lIve is Christ, to die is gain, To hold His hand, and walk His narrow way, There is no peace, no joy, no thrill, Like walking in His will:, For me to live is Christ, to die is gain.

Verse 1

Now once my heart was full of sin and shame,

‘Till someone told me Jesus came to save;

When He said, “Come home to me”,

He set my poor heart free:

For me to live is Christ, to die is gain.

Verse 2

Now there are things that I still do not know,

But of this one thing I’m completely sure:

He who called me on that day,

Washed all my sin away:

For me to lIve is Christ, to die is gain.
