1 I came to the Saviour all covered with sin,
No joy of salvation, no comfort within.
O when shall I ever His praises begin?
He took all my burden away.
Refrain:
Won’t you let the dear Saviour be your Saviour too?
Won’t you let the dear Saviour be your Saviour too?
He is the Friend of sinners,
Faithful and tried and true;
Won’t you let the dear Saviour be your Saviour too?
2 Sweet, sweet was the comfort which came to my soul
When like a great mountain my sins off did roll.
I’ll tell it to others, His dear name extol;
He took all my burden away. [Refrain]
3 Come, come to the Saviour, this Friend tried and true;
He’ll pardon and cleanse you, your strength He’ll renew.
If only you’ll let Him, He’ll save thro’ and thro’;
He’ll take all your burden away. [Refrain]
