Never did I dream before,
Such a place could e’er be found,
Where the tears of sorrow cease,
Songs of endless joy abound.
One who seldom ever sang,
Now delights his voice to raise;
Singing hymns with all the saints,
Echoing the ceaseless praise.

Day by day the world goes on,
Just as it has gone before.
Millions grasp and clutch at life,
Wond’ring if there could be more;
Such was I and would be, yet
Mercy found me out somehow;
With what gratefulness I say,
“I’m in God’s own family now.”

I really like this song. May the Lord be magnified. He's really real sweet and subjective.
Malaysia
Well, this is probably a good song because this song can bring me to blend and sing with the saints. Praise the Lord whenever I sang this song I felt that there's a joy within me, and thus it stirs up my spirit.
