I was once a sin­ner, but I came
Pardon to re­ceive from my Lord:
This was free­ly giv­en, and I found
That He al­ways kept His word.

Refrain

There’s a new name writ­ten down in glo­ry,
And it’s mine, O yes, it’s mine!
And the white robed an­gels sing the sto­ry,
A sin­ner has come home.
For there’s a new name writ­ten down in glo­ry,
And it’s mine, O yes, it’s mine!
With my sins for­giv­en I am bound for Heav­en,
Never more to roam.

I was hum­bly kneel­ing at the cross,
Fearing naught but God’s ang­ry frown;
When the heav­ens op­ened and I saw
That my name was writ­ten down.

Refrain

In the Book ’tis writ­ten, Saved by Grace,
O the joy that came to my soul!
Now I am for­giv­en, and I know
By the blood I am made whole.
