Once my eyes were blind to the beauty of the Lord,

Once my ears were closed to the pleading of His word;

Once these hands of mine pressed the thorn-crown on His brow,

But all this He has forgiven, and it's all right now.

Once I loved the world with its glitter and its show;

I was captive held with the pleasure here below,

But one day He came, though I cannot tell you how,

With His blood my sins He covered, and it’s all right now.

O it is so precious to be atone with Him,

When the shadows fall and my eye with tears are dim,

Just to feel His hand rest in love upon my brow

And to hear Him gently whisper, “It is all right now”.
