GLAD TIDINGS

I was lost and Jesus sought me;
Since I was enslaved He bought me;
   In His presence I have rest;
   In His service I am blest.

I was lost, and Jesus found me,
Freed me from sins' chains that bound me,
   Brought me safely to the inn,
   Blessed, and gave me joy within.

I was lost, and Jesus saved me
From the habits that enslaved me:
   With Him near I have release;
   Near Himself I learn His peace.
