Lyrics

Our Sav­ior once wandered on earth as a man,
Both footsore and weary to Samaria’s land;
A story He told, most wondrously grand:
Salvation thro’ Je­sus for poor sinful man!

Refrain

We’ll sing this sweet song, this glo­ri­ous song,
Of Je­sus who died on the tree!
He died on the tree for you and for me!
O, sing the sweet story: Sal­va­tion is free!

Sore, weary, and thirsty, He came to a well,
And there, to a woman, this story did tell;
She heard it with joy, for her soul could be free,
And she this sal­va­tion thro’ Je­sus did see!

Refrain

Then brother, let’s sing this sweet story, so true,
Salvation thro’ Je­sus, for me and for you!
Let every glad heart this great message now tell,
The same old sweet story, told there at the well!
