1 With joy of heart I now can sing:
Jesus saves!
He doth to me deliverance bring,
Jesus saves!
I never shall forget the day
Christ saved me, when so far astray,
And sent me singing on my way,
Jesus saves!

2 From sins that filled my life with woe,
Jesus saves!
Beneath my feet he’s put my foe,
Jesus saves!
From fear of man, from base desire,
From folly’s charm, from sin’s deep mire,
And from the everlasting fire,
Jesus saves!

3 I’ll shout the news where’er I go:
Jesus saves!
His blood doth cleanse as white as snow,
Jesus saves!
I’ll sing it when death’s flood I see,
I’ll sing it then, my joy ‘twill be,
I’ll sing it in eternity:
Jesus saves!
