A long time I wandered in darkness and sin, And wondered if ever the light would shine in; I heard Christian friends speak of raptures divine, And I wished???how I wished???that their Savior were mine. I wished He were mine, yes, I wished He were mine; I wished???how I wished???that their Savior were mine. I heard the glad gospel of ???good will to men???; I read ???whosoever??? again and again; I said to my soul, ???Can that promise be thine???? And then began hoping that Jesus was mine. I hoped He was mine, yes, I hoped He was mine, And then began hoping that Jesus was mine. Oh, mercy surprising! He saves even me! ???Thy portion forever,??? He says, ???will I be???; On His Word I am resting???assurance divine: I am ???hoping??? no longer, I know He is mine. I know He is mine, yes, I know He is mine, I???m hoping no longer???I know He is mine.
