I looked within and pondered How cold my heart had been; Is this the life of faith, I said, Or am I "dead in sin?" I see no right or title I feel no "heav'nly glow," Is Jesus Christ my savior now, How can he save me so? Is Jesus Christ my savior now, How can he save me so? I looked about and pondered What shipwrecks strew the strand! Is there a God in heav'n above And will His Kingdom stand? How sin is growing stronger, How truth and justice fail, Is Christ a mighty King to come, Does ev'ry prayer avail? Is Christ a mighty King to come, Does ev'ry prayer avail? I looked above and wondered What glory beaming there! My Savior, precious Savior, too My mansion, oh, how fair! He smiling says, "be ready," To join the ransomed throng I know my King is coming soon, Lord Jesus, oh, how long? I know my King is coming soon, Lord Jesus, oh, how long?
