29. Jesus, The Savior of Men

1 How sweet the song within my heart,
Jesus, the Savior of men;
No other theme can peace impart,
Jesus, the Savior of men.

Chorus:
Oh, wonderful, wonderful story!
We’ll sing it again and again;
We’ll publish His excellent glory,
Jesus, the Savior of men.

2 A sacrifice He died for all,
Jesus, the Savior of men!
His love redeemed us from the fall,
Jesus, the Savior of men. [Chorus]

3 His mercy life a river flows,
Jesus, the Savior of men!
His wondrous grace the sinner knows,
Jesus, the Savior of men. [Chorus]

4 No other One can save the soul,
Jesus, the Savior of men!
His precious blood can make us whole,
Jesus, the Savior of men. [Chorus]
