Lyrics

This full sal­va­tion just suits me,
Oh, how it saves!
It sets my soul at li­ber­ty,
Oh, how it saves!

Refrain

Oh, how it saves! Oh, how it saves!
I love, I love this full sal­va­tion,
Oh, how it saves!

I feel its pow­er all thro’ my soul,
Oh, how it saves!
Its cleans­ing waves now o’er me roll,
Oh, how it saves!

Refrain

I’ll love it on my dy­ing bed,
Oh, how it saves!
When Jordan’s waves roll o’er my head,
Oh, how it saves!

Refrain

I’ll love it when I’m safe in Hea­ven,
Oh, how it saves!
With all the ran­somed and for­giv­en,
Oh, how it saves!

Refrain

I’ll love it thro’ eter­ni­ty,
Oh, how it saves!
And joy in end­less li­ber­ty,
Oh, how it saves!
