Long mine eyes
were drowned in tears,
And my soul was filled with fears,
And I heeded not
the swiftly passing years;
For thro’ many a weary day,
O’er a long and desert way
From the fold of Christ,
my Shepherd, I did stray.
Hallelujah! Jesus saves me,
And my head is sweetly pillowed
on His breast;
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
His shekinah covers me
and I am blest.
Now I doubt and fear no more,
All my heart with bliss runs o’er,
And I can but love Him,
praise Him and adore;
Skies above me never lower,
Bright is every fleeting hour,
And I sing the day
of Jesus’ mighty power.
Hallelujah! Jesus saves me,
And my head is sweetly pillowed
on His breast;
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
His shekinah covers me
and I am blest.
O how precious is His grace!
O to come to that fair place
Where our souls may drink
the light of His dear face!
There before His shining seat
All his sainted ones shall meet,
Casting down their crowns
before His piercèd feet.
Hallelujah! Jesus saves me,
And my head is sweetly pillowed
on His breast;
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
His shekinah covers me
and I am blest.
Will you join us, brother dear,
While His voice of love and cheer
Now is calling you—
O hasten to His side;
Every day you wait is lost,
Sad will be the fearful cost,
If you blindly spurn
at last the Crucified.
Hallelujah! Jesus saves me,
And my head is sweetly pillowed
on His breast;
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
His shekinah covers me
and I am blest.
