Hymns - It Is True Within My Heart - Текст песни

1. I have read within the Bible
 How a sinner vile and low,
 Need but come in faith to Jesus
 To be washed as white as snow;
 How the heart, so stained and wicked,
 Hardened by the guilt of sin,
 May be purified and softened,
 Till the Lord will dwell within.
 * Refrain:
 I have read within the Bible
 What His favor will impart;
 And, oh, glory! I have proved it,
 Now ???tis true within my heart.
 2. I have read how sin was conquered
 When He bled upon the tree,
 How its binding chains were broken
 That the captives might be free;
 How I need not still do evil,
 And repent from day to day,
 But should find His grace sufficient,
 Keeping sinless all the day.
 3. I have read how a believer,
 One who knows his wrongs forgiv???n,
 May be cleansed from sin completely,
 Made as pure and clean as heav???n;
 Have the very root of evil
 From his being swept away,
 Leaving in his joyous bosom
 An unending sabbath day.
 4. I have read and have believed it,
 How the Holy Ghost would come,
 In His power and His glory,
 Make the heart of man His home;
 Keep it as a sacred temple,
 Seal its door to every foe,
 And preserve it pure and holy
 All life???s journey here below.
