 (C)Until the (Em)courts of (G)heaven (D)rang.

 Oh, (Em)Oh the (G)love that (D)sought me!

 Oh, (Em)Oh the (G)blood that (D)bought me!

 Oh, the (Em)grace that (G)brought me to the (D)fold of (C)God

 (Em)Grace that brought me (D)to the fold.



 He washed the bleeding sin wounds,

 And poured in oil and wine;

 He whispered to assure me,

 "I've found thee, thou art Mine";

 I never heard a sweeter voice;

 It made my aching heart rejoice!



 He pointed to the nail prints,

 For me His blood was shed,

 A mocking crown so thorny

 Was placed upon His head;

 I wondered what He saw in me,

 To suffer such deep agony.



 I'm sitting in His presence,

 The sunshine of His face,

 While with adoring wonder

 His blessings I retrace.

 It seems as if eternal days

 Are far too short to sound His praise.



 So while the hours are passing,

 All now is perfect rest,

 I'm waiting for the morning,

 The brightest and the best,

 When He will call us to His side,

 To be with Him, His spotless bride.
