1  Oh, how dark the night that wrapt my spirit round!

    Oh, how deep the woe my Savior found

    When He walked across the waters of my soul,

    Bade my night disperse and made me whole!

 2  Tremblingly a sinner bowed before His face,

    Naught I knew of pardon, God's free grace;

    Heard a voice so melting, "Cease thy wild regret,

    Jesus bought thy pardon, paid thy debt."

 3  O 'twas wondrous love the Savior showed for me!

    When He left His throne for Calvary,

    When He bore my trespass, bore it all alone;

    Praise His name forever, make it known.
