1 Glory to Jesus, He saves even me!
All my guilt nailing to Calvary’s tree;
Paid is the debt and my soul is set free,
Glory to Jesus, He saves!

Chorus:
Glory, He saves! wondrously saves!
Saves a poor sinner like me;
Glory, He saves! wondrously saves!
Glory to Jesus, He saves!

2 Wand’ring He found me afar from the fold,
Perishing there in the darkness and cold;
Half of His goodness can never be told,
Glory to Jesus, He saves! [Chorus]

3 Safely and sweetly He keeps me each day,
Gently, so gently He leads all the way;
Answers of peace sends He down where I pray,
Glory to Jesus, He saves! [Chorus]

4 Blessed companionship, cheering me so,
Sweeter and sweeter each day shall it grow,
Till to be like Him I joyfully go,
Glory to Jesus, He saves! [Refrain]
