Jesus, my all, to Heav’n is gone,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me;
He whom I fix my hopes up­on,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me.

Refrain

He saves me, He saves me,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me.
He saves me, He saves me,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me.

This is the way I long have sought,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me;
And mourned be­cause I found it not,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me.

Refrain

The King’s high­way of ho­li­ness,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me;
I’ll go, for all His paths are peace,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me.

Refrain

My grief a bur­den long has been,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me;
Because I was not saved from sin,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me.

Lo! glad I come; and Thou, blest Lamb,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me;
Shalt take me to Thee, as I am;
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me.

Nothing but sin have I to give,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me;
Nothing but love shall I re­ceive,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me.

Then will I tell to sin­ners ’round,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me;
What a dear Sav­ior I have found,
Glory hal­le­lu­jah, Je­sus saves me.
