Hymn Lyrics Search - Name That Hymn

Thank you all so much for these lyrics to this song. I heard it for the very first tme last week at a funeral. It was so moved by the spirit as a mature lovely black woman of God sang this georgous hymn. I didn't know the name so I search and found you all!.....thanks so much....
Bless you all.

A friend of mine, Russ Cropley, included another verse when he taped it for family and friends:
"I am amazed that God His Son not sparing
Gave Him to die to free my soul from sin.
And yet, I know that by His death I am set free.
He looked beyond my fault and saw my need."

And then one day we we shall meet in glory
Oh What a Day of Joy that will be
He will say child come sit down here beside me.
I tell you why and I will tell you how.

Such a beautiful song its my whole testimony.

Thank you very much Saints you made my day! I was so searching for the words of this Song for sometime now and I thank God for all who contributed to make it possible to get the words. WOW. I am hosting a seminar of 100 women for the 1st time and the theme is the Grace of God.

May God's peace be with you all !

it reminds me of my late grandmother who passed away in 1998.

The lyrics are indeed lovely, but the music has been around for hundreds of years. It's the tune called "Londonderry Aire" and is most popular to the words of the Irish ballad "Danny Boy." Perhaps it has been ARRANGED by the composer of the lyrics, but the tune is an old and beloved one. Just saying -

John Wesley had a way of writing hymns for all to sing which is why most of his hymns are set to the melodys of bar and pub tunes

Wow
I am blessed.
A friend of mine posted that song on facebook and I ve to look for full one. thanks for this. God bless you.
He looked beyond my fault and saw my knees/needs.
Awesome God!
May God count us worthy in His kingdom.
