I was poorer than all I was hungry and

I was poorer than all, I was hungry and cold,
I was far, far away from the dear Shepherd’s fold;
But Jesus now gives me of His riches untold,
Oh, the peace of my soul is Jesus!

I was poorer than all; now I’ve riches to spare,
And a home He is building for me so bright and fair;
And some day I am going to my home over there,
Oh, the peace of my soul is Jesus!

I was poorer than all, I was friendless, alone,
I was still in my sins, and my heart was a stone;
But Jesus smiled on me and said, “Thou art My own,”
Oh, the peace of my soul is Jesus!

I was poorer than all; now I’ve riches to spare,
And a home He is building for me so bright and fair;
And some day I am going to my home over there,
Oh, the peace of my soul is Jesus!
