1 Saved and kept by the power divine,
Saved to the uttermost, Jesus is mine!
He’s redemption, and righteousness too,
Trusting in Him all my life is made new.

Refrain:
Saved and kept, O the glorious word!
Saved and kept by a wonderful Lord!
He who was dead, and is risen from the grave,
Lives, and is able to keep and to save.

2 Saved and kept every step of the way;
Christ is a Saviour who saves every day,
Saves from bondage of sin and of strife,
Keeps in the sphere of His glorious life. [Refrain]

3 Saved and kept, never doubting His word,
Filled with the peace and the joy of my Lord;
Saved! no angel its meaning can know;
Kept by His grace daily whiter than snow! [Refrain]

4 Saved and kept till I look on His face,
Kept by Him unto the end of the race,
How my glad heart forever shall sing
Praises to Jesus, my Saviour and King! [Refrain]
