1 I am saved from my sin, and to joy enter in,
With the heart I believe on the Saviour;
I have wonderful peace, from my burdens release,
I believe on the Son of God.

Refrain:
I believe, I believe,
With the heart I believe on the Saviour,
I believe, I believe,
I believe on the Son of God.

2 ‘Tis by faith I can say Jesus saves me today,
With the heart I believe on the Saviour;
Waves of love o’er me roll, all is well with my soul,
I believe on the Son of God. [Refrain]

3 There is comfort and rest on His sheltering breast,
With the heart I believe on the Saviour;
I will praise Him in song, tell His love all day long.
I believe on the Son of God. [Refrain]
