Lyrics

I wandered once in woe and shame,
My life was lost in sin’s fierce flame;
Now I believe in Jesus’ name;
My soul is saved, sing hallelujah!

Refrain

Sing hallelujah, I am saved!
Sing hallelujah, I am saved!
From sin and shame, thro’ Jesus’ name,
My soul is saved, sing hallelujah!

I wandered far, but found no peace,
From sin’s alarms no glad release;
But Jesus bade my struggles cease,
And I am saved, sing hallelujah!

Refrain

I once was weak and passion’s slave,
And Satan’s onset dared not brave;
But Christ has power the weak to save,
And I am saved, sing hallelujah!

Refrain

A son of God, a child of light,
With hope and joy my life is bright;
Despair and gloom have taken flight,
For I am saved, sing hallelujah!
