163. He Came to Save Me

1 When Jesus laid his crown aside,
He came to save me;
When on the cross he bled and died,
He came to save me.

Refrain:
I'm so glad, I'm so glad,
I'm so glad that Jesus came,
I'm so glad, I'm so glad,
I'm so glad that Jesus came,
He came to save me.

2 In my poor heart he deigns to dwell,
He came to save me;
Oh, praise his name, I know it well,
He came to save me. [Refrain]

3 With gentle hand he leads me still,
He came to save me;
And trusting him I fear no ill,
He came to save me. [Refrain]

4 To him my faith with rapture clings,
He came to save me;
To him my heart looks up and sings,
He came to save me. [Refrain]
