Lyrics

O sing the song of sal­va­tion,
Proclaim to ev­ery na­tion,
That Je­sus is wait­ing,
Is will­ing and rea­dy,
To save their souls.

Refrain

He saved me, made me free;
What He has done for me, sin­ner,
He’ll do for you, none but He!
He saved me, soon I’ll be
Singing in glo­ry the beau­ti­ful story,
That He saved me!

He’s pro­mised ever to lead me,
With heav’n­ly man­na to feed me,
His coun­sel directs me,
His pre­sence con­soles me,
The whole day long.

Refrain

I’ll ne­ver cease to adore Him,
For when my spir­it before Him
At judg­ment is stand­ing,
If He is my coun­sel
Then all is well.
