How Marvelous That He Lifted Me

Author: Katharine Atherton Grimes Hymnal: Great Tabernacle Hymns #19 (1916) First Line: When waves of sin had drifted me Lyrics: 1 When waves of sin had drifted me Far out into the night, The Savior came and lifted me Into a world of light. Chorus: How marvelous that He lifted me, That He lifted me, in mercy lifted me; How marvelous that He lifted me, In mercy lifted, lifted even me. 2 When evil’s pow’r was thralling me, And storms were ‘round my head, I heard my Savior calling me, His hand on mine was laid. [Chorus] 3 Into the dark a prayer I sent, A feeble, falt’ring word; But tho’ by grief my voice was spent, The blessed Savior heard. [Chorus] 4 Where waves of sin had drifted me Far in the dark alone, My Savior came and lifted me, And claimed me for His own. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [When waves of sin had drifted me]
