To Save a Poor Sinner Like Me

Author: Rev. John O. Foster, A. M. Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 1 #8 (1890) First Line: I'll sing of the story Refrain First Line: Then sing the glad chorus Lyrics: 1 I'll sing of the story, how Jesus from glory Has saved a poor sinner like me; That all who believe Him, and all who receive Him, His blessed salvation may see. Chorus: Then sing the glad chorus, His banner is o'er us, His love is extended, To save a poor sinner like me. 2 His glory immortal bright over the portal, Has banished the gloom from the grave; The Lord has ascended, the darkness is ended And now He is mighty to save. [Chorus] 3 Tho' seasons of error and moments of terror, Like billows of sorrow may roll; In Christ I'm confiding, In Him I am hiding, With safety and rest to my soul. [Chorus] 4 My peace like a river flows onward forever, A tide to eternity's sea, To swell the old story with voices in glory, He saved a poor sinner like me. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [I'll sing of the story]
