Author: C. E. Retters Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Would you know how I was saved Lyrics: 1. Would you know how I was saved,
Gained the peace that now I have;
How He saved me from the fall?
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
Refrain
Nothing of my own to claim,
Trusting only Jesus’ name;
Making Him my all in all,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
2. Poor and helpless soul was I,
Sinful and afraid to die;
Jesus heard my stammering call,
Trusting Jesus did it all. [Refrain]
3. Not by works was my reward,
But believing on the Lord;
Saved was I through faith, though small—
Trusting Jesus, that is all. [Refrain] Used With Tune: AYER Text Sources: Songs of the Great Salvation by William M. Runyan & Daniel Towner (Wichita, Kansas: The Runyan Music Publishing Company, circa 1919), number 105
