Lyics

I HEAR the Saviour say,

Thy strength indeed is small:

Come to me-I'll be thy stay;

Find in me thine all in all. CHORUS



CHORUS

Je-sus died for me,

All to him I owe-

Sin had left a crimson stain:

He washed it white as snow.



For nothing good have I

Whereby thy grace to claim-

Jesus died my soul to save,

And blessed be his name. CHORUS



When from my dying bed

My ransomed soul shall rise,

"Jesus died my soul to save,"

Shall rend the vaulted skies. CHORUS



And when, before the throne,

I stand in him complete,

"Jesus died my soul to save,"

My lips shall still repeat. CHORUS
