Lyrics

Jesus the Lord laid His glo­ry aside,
Sinners to save and make whole,
Freely He died our trans­gress­ions to hide,
What is He worth to your soul?

Refrain

What is He worth, what is He worth,
What is He worth to your soul?
He died on the tree, for you and for me,
What is He worth to your soul?

All that was His for the sin­ner He gave,
Pointed the path to the goal;
Sin would de­prave, but the Sav­ior would save,
What is He worth to your soul?

Refrain

All that He saves He will keep till the end,
Under His bless­èd con­trol;
Men may de­pend on this won­der­ful friend,
What is He worth to your soul?

Refrain

All who will trust Him in sun­shine and gloam,
Shall, when they reach the bright goal,
Ceasing to roam, be for­ev­er at home,
What is He worth to your soul?
