Lyrics

How do I know my sins for­giv’n?
My Sav­ior tells me so;
That now I am an heir of Heav’n?
My Sav­ior tells me so.

Refrain

Away with doubt, away with fear,
When this by faith I know;
God’s word shall stand for­ev­er­more,
My Sav­ior tells me so.

By trust­ing Christ the wit­ness came,
My Sav­ior tells me so;
The par­don’s free in Je­sus’ name,
My Sav­ior tells me so.

Refrain

Believe and thou shalt sure­ly live,
My Sav­ior tells me so;
The Spi­rit’s wit­ness God will give,
My Sav­ior tells me so.

Refrain

Though rough the way, I shall en­dure,
My Sav­ior tells me so;
His sheep are ev­er kept se­cure,
My Sav­ior tells me so.

Refrain

How do I know I’ll live again?
My Sav­ior tells me so;
With Christ in glo­ry I shall reign,
My Sav­ior tells me so.
