78. Jesus Saves Me

1 I have found a peace abiding
Earth can never take away,
Jesus saves me, Jesus saves me!
In that Rock securely hiding,
Fear with me can never stay;
Jesus saves me, Jesus saves me!

Chorus:
Jesus saves me! How can I but love him?
Jesus saves me! How can I but love him?
Jesus saves me, is my cry
While I live and when I die!
Jesus saves me! How can I but love him?

2 I have found a love exceeding
All that earth has ever known,
Jesus saves me, Jesus saves me!
Unto those who heed its pleading
Is its wondrous sweetness shown;
Jesus saves me, Jesus saves me! [Chorus]

3 I have found a hope that’s shedding
Light that brings a sweet surprise,
Jesus saves me, Jesus saves me!
I’m content, who’ clouds o’erspreading
Hide the future from my eyes;
Jesus saves me, Jesus saves me! [Chorus]

4 Yes, it is a full salvation,
Offered now to each and all,
Jesus saves me, Jesus saves me!
And in loving adoration
Sound I forth the Gospel call;
Jesus saves me, Jesus saves me! [Chorus]
