This Is a Faithful Saying

1 Hear the precious gospel story,
Told to sinners long ago;
O what comfort, O what glory,
From this blessed truth shall flow.

Refrain:
“This is a faithful saying,
This is a faithful saying,
This is a faithful saying,
And worthy of all acceptation,
That Christ Jesus came,
That Christ Jesus came,
That Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.”

2 Now accept this “faithful saying,”
Let it draw you to his feet;
Come to him, no more delaying,
Find in him deliv’rance sweet. [Refrain]

3 All your sins shall be forgiven,
Washed in Calv’ry’s stream today;
All your fetters shall be riven,
All your darkness flee away. [Refrain]

4 Grasp anew this “faithful saying,”
Trusting Jesus, doubt no more;
Pressing onward, watching, praying,
Enter every open door. [Refrain]

5 Freely take the great salvation
Bought upon the cross for you;
Bow the heart in adoration,
Give your life in service true. [Refrain]
