A New Name Written Down In Glory Lyrics - Appalachian Hymns: Old-time Gospel Hymns From The Appalachian Mountains - Jim Hendricks

1 I was once a sinner, but I came 

Pardon to receive from my Lord. 

This was freely given, and I found 

That He always kept His word. 

Chorus: 

There's a new name Written down in glory, 

And it's mine, (And it's mine,) 

oh yes, it's mine! (yes, it's mine!) 

And the white-robed Angels sing the story, 

"A sinner has come home." (home, has come home." 

For there's a new name written down in glory, 

And it's mine, (And it's mine,) 

oh yes, it's mine! (yes, it's mine!) 

With my sins forgiven I am bound for heaven, 

Nevermore to roam. 

2 I was humbly kneeling at the cross, 

Fearing naught but God's angry frown, 

When the heavens opened and I saw 

That my name was written down. 

[Chorus]3 In the Book 'tis written, "Saved by grace." 

Oh the joy that came to my soul! 

Now I am forgiven, and I know 

By the blood I am made whole. [Chorus]
