Ulysses Phillips V1 C V2 C V3 C V4 C [V1] From death to life, oh, what a thought! Within my soul what change is wrought By pow’r divine, no tongue can tell, One thing I know—for me ’tis well; From darkness unto light sublime, Through my Redeemer’s matchless Name; For this He left His home on high, That I should not forever [C] Oh, praise the Lord for victory, From death to life He lifted me; By His great love and pow’r divine Eternal life is truly mine. [V2] There Jesus paid it all, I see, To bring this wondrous life to me; Life from above, oh, joy sublime! That such a treasure should be mine; Now in God’s Son I have a part, Eternal life within my heart, Translated from the shades of night, Into the realm of glorious light. [V3] A resurrection, I confess, Has taken place within my breast; I’ve been awakened from the dead, And now I live with Christ instead; And when I lay this body down, To mold and crumble in the ground, My ransomed soul shall fly away, To one long, bright, eternal day. [V4] There light and life without an end Into eternity shall blend; And I the Lord of life shall greet, And worship at His blessed feet; Then may I clasp His nail-scarred hands, Which broke for me death’s awful bands, By His great love; how could it be? From death to life He lifted me.
