Cântăre Im Glad I Counted the Cost

1. When first I started to seek the Lord,

I’m glad I counted the cost;

I fully measured to Jesus’ Word;

I’m glad I counted the cost.

* Refrain:

I’ve paid the price and obtained the prize,

He saved my soul that was lost;

And now my treasures are in the skies,

I’m glad I counted the cost.

2. I laid my sorrows at Jesus’ feet,

I’m glad I counted the cost;

And now I’ve pleasures so pure and sweet,

I’m glad I counted the cost.

3. I’ve bid farewell to this world of sin,

I’m glad I counted the cost;

And now my Jesus abides within,

I’m glad I counted the cost.

4. I cast on Jesus my every care,

I’m glad I counted the cost;

And all my burdens He helps to bear,

I’m glad I counted the cost.

5. ’Twill not be long till the Lord shall come,

I’m glad I counted the cost;

And bear my soul to that heav’nly home,

I’m glad I counted the cost.
