Tell the sweet old sto­ry, shout the glad old song,
Let the ran­somed swell it, as it rolls along,
Set the cho­rus ring­ing, ju­bi­lant and strong:
Jesus saves, sweet­ly saves.

Refrain

He saves, Je­sus saves,
He saves, sweet­ly saves;
Let all na­ture join and sing,
To the glo­ry of our king:
Jesus saves, sweet­ly saves.

Wanderers in dark­ness, going far as­tray,
Wait for you to beck­on to the up­ward way.
Hasten with the mess­age, tell it while you may:
Jesus saves, sweet­ly saves.

Refrain

Sing His love and mer­cy, sound it ev­er­more,
Till the world shall list­en, won­der and adore,
Till the tune­ful echoes reach the heav’n­ly shore:
Jesus saves, sweet­ly saves.

Refrain
