Lyrics

Have you found the Sav­ior pre­cious,
More than all on earth be­side,
He who gave His life to save you,
Who for your trans­gress­ions died?

Refrain

Have you found the Sav­ior pre­cious?
Can you slight such love as this?
Surely there can be no great­er:
Would you give your life for His?

Have you found the Sav­ior pre­cious,
Who for you passed thro’ the grave,
Broke the bonds of death asun­der,
Have you proved His pow­er to save?

Refrain

Have you found the Sav­ior pre­cious?
Do you know the peace and rest
That doth fill each soul that trusts Him;
Who in his deep love is blest?

Refrain

Have you found the Sav­ior pre­cious?
Seek Him then with­out de­lay,
Taste the sweet­ness of His par­don,
He will take our sins away.
