Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 1 #44 (1890) First Line: 'Twas Jesus my Savior, who died on the tree Lyrics: 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.
