123. Jesus Came to Save!

1 Sing the joyful news again—
Jesus came to save!
O repeat the glad refrain—
Jesus came to save!
Came to cleanse each guilty soul—
Came to make the wounded whole:
Came to comfort and control—
Jesus came to save!

2 Sing the story o’er and o’er—
Jesus came to save!
Sound his praise from shore to shore—
Jesus came to save!
Came to succor in distress;
Came the weary ones to bless:
Came to clothe in righteousness—
Jesus came to save!

3 Sweetest story ever sung—
Jesus came to save!
Praise his name with heart and tongue—
Jesus came to save!
Came to lead from byways cold,
Lost ones to his shelt’ring fold:
All its beauty to behold—
Jesus came to save!

4 Glory, glory be to God—
Jesus came to save!
Spread the wondrous news abroad—
Jesus came to save!
Left his shining home above,
All his mighty pow’r to prove:
Just because his name is love—
Jesus came to save!
