Crowning Glory No. 1 ‎#44

44. 'Twas Jesus My Savior

1 'Twas Jesus my Savior, who died on the tree,
To open a fountain for sinners like me;
The blood of that fountain wherever it flows,
It cleanses the vilest, and pardon bestows.

2 And when I was willing with all things to part,
He gave me my bounty, His love in my heart;
So now I am joined to the conquering band,
And marching to glory at Jesus' command.

3 And with all the ransom'd, by Jesus, my Head,
From glory to glory I then shall be led;
I'll fall at His feet, and His mercy adore,
And sing of the blood of the cross evermore.

4 Come, sinner, to Jesus, no longer delay,
A full, free salvation He offers today;
Accept it just now, and in Jesus believe,
The life everlasting you then shall receive.
