283. Yes, I Know

1 Come, ye sinners, lost and hopeless,
Jesus’ blood can make you free;
For He saved the worst among you,
When He saved a wretch like me.

Refrain:
And I know, yes, I know,
Jesus’ blood can make the vilest sinner clean.

2 To the faint He giveth power,
Through the mountain makes a way;
Findeth water in the desert,
Turns the night to golden day.

3 In temptation He is near thee,
Holds the powers of hell at bay;
Guides you to the path of safety,
Gives you grace for every day.

4 He will keep thee while the ages
Roll throughout eternity;
Though earth hinders and hell rages,
All must work for good to thee.
