Once I thought my mountain strong,
Firmly fixed, no more to move:
Then my Saviour was my song,
Then my soul was filled with love
Those were happy, golden days,
Sweetly spent in prayer and praise.
Little then myself I knew,
Little thought of Satan’s power;
Now I feel my sins anew
Now I feel the stormy hour:
Sin has put my joys to flight,
Sin has turned my day to night.
Saviour! shine, and cheer my soul;
Bid my dying hopes revive;
Make my wounded spirit whole;
Far away the tempter drive:
Speak the word and set me free;
Let me live alone to thee.
