1 “He that believeth on the Son,” ‘tis written in His Word
Shall everlasting life obtain thro’ Jesus Christ the Lord;
Not earth below nor heav’n above the power can afford
Whereby we must be saved.

Refrain:
“He that believeth on the Son!”
It saith in the Word of the living God;
It is the way, the only way,
Whereby we must be saved.

2 We cannot hope by princely gifts we from our plenty take,
To be accepted of our God for such a paltry sake;
There is no earthly sacrifice within our pow’r to take,
Whereby we must be saved. [Refrain]

3 It cannot be because of any labor we have done,
Nor thro’ the merit of an earthly honor we have won;
There is no other way except through faith in Christ, the Son,
Whereby we must be saved. [Refrain]

4 It will not be because of any trophies we may bring,
If, when we reach the gate of heav’n, for us ajar they swing;
“He that believeth” is the way—let men and angels sing—
Whereby we must be saved. [Refrain]
