Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.594
First Line: I am glad I have heard of the Saviour's ,
I am glad I have heard of the Saviour's
great mercy !
And that now I am singing His
redemption's new song ;
And e'er since, by His grace, unto
Him I surrendered,
In my heart has been ringing-----
I believe ! I belong !
Tell it out ! tell it out ! Christ the theme of my
story ! [it along !
Sing, ye mountains and hills ! breezes, waft
Praise the Lord ! He provideth a perfect salvation ;
So we'll take as our watchword---- I believe I belong ! '
2 Once the slave of my sin, then my
soul lay in darkness,
Kept a prisoner by Satan in his
dungeon so strong ;
But the Lord, by His power, set me
free from my bondage,
And He gave me this watchword----
I believe ! I belong !
3 I believe for a full and a perfect salvation ;
I belong to my Saviour with a love deep and strong ;
And though oft sorely tempted to
change my allegiance,
Still my faith gives the answer----
I believe ! I belong !
4 But I look for the time when, my
journey safe ended,
I shall join in the chorus of the
heavenly throng :
Oh, what rapture 'twill be on the
throne to behold Him,
To eternity singing------ I believe !
I belong !
