Hallelujah, He Saves Us

Representative Text

1 Sing glory to God in the highest,
For wonderful things he hath done;
He so loved the world that he gave us
His only begotten dear Son.

Refrain:
Hallelujah! he saves us
Thro’ the death of his Son;
Hallelujah! he saves us
Thro’ the Crucified One.

2 Oh, perfect redemption to sinners,
The purchase of Jesus’ own blood!
The vilest offender is pardoned,
Is saved thro’ the promise of God. [Refrain]

3 Rejoice, then, rejoice, all ye people,
The wondrous transaction is done,
The life-gate is opened; come, enter,
Thro’ Jesus the Crucified One. [Refrain]
