1 Gone from my heart the world and all its charms;
Now through the blood I'm saved from all alarms;
I love Him, I love Him,
Because He first loved me,
And purchased my salvation on Calv'ry's tree.
2 Once I was lost, and fallen deep in sin;
Once was a slave to passions fierce within;
I love Him, I love Him,
Because He first loved me,
And purchased my salvation on Calv'ry's tree.
3 Once I was bound, but now I am set free;
Once I was blind, but now the light I see;
I love Him, I love Him,
Because He first loved me,
And purchased my salvation on Calv'ry's tree.
