I’m a sinner, saved by grace,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
I shall see my Savior’s face,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Tell the blessèd news around
Unto earth’s remotest bound,
I was lost, but now I’m found,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
I have found a precious friend,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
He will keep me to the end,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Jesus is so dear to me,
Such a loving friend is He,
And will ever faithful be,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Jesus helps me when I fall,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Ever hears me when I call,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
He doth all my sorrows share
And will all my burdens bear,
Cheers me when I’m in despair,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
He has many blessings giv’n,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
I shall have a home in Heav’n,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
If I always do my best,
I shall have a glorious rest,
Live forever with the blest,
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
