He Saves Me

Author: J. W. Van de Venter Appears in 64 hymnals First Line: The dear loving Saviour has found me Refrain First Line: He saves me, he saves me Lyrics: 1 The dear loving Saviour has found me, And shattered the fetters that bound me, Tho’ all was confusion around me, He came and spoke peace to my soul; The blessed Redeemer that bought me, In tenderness constantly sought me, The way of salvation he taught me, And made my heart perfectly whole. Refrain: He saves me, he saves me, His love fills my soul, hallelujah! O glory, O glory, His Spirit abideth within; He saves me, he saves me, His love fills my soul, hallelujah! O glory, O glory, his blood cleanses me from all sin. 2 He sought me so long e’er I knew him, But finally winning me to him, I yielded my all to pursue him, And asked to be filled with his grace; Although a vile sinner before him, Thro’ faith I was led to implore him, And now I rejoice and adore him, Restored to his loving embrace. [Refrain] 3 I never, no, never will leave him, Grow weary of service and grieve him, I’ll constantly trust and believe him, Remain in his presence divine; Abiding in love ever flowing, In knowledge and grace ever growing, Confiding implicitly, knowing That Jesus the Saviour is mine. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [The dear loving Saviour has found me]
