1 This is the glorious Gospel word—
Our God his heavens doth bow,
And cry to each believing heart,
Jesus saves thee now!

Refrain:
Jesus saves thee now,
Jesus saves thee now,
Jesus saves thee, yes, he saves thee,
Jesus saves thee now!

2 God speaks who cannot lie; why then
One doubt should I allow?
I doubt him not, but take his word—
Jesus saves me now!

3 I trust not self 'twould throw me back
Into Despond's deep slough;
From self I look to Christ, and find
Jesus saves me now!

4 Temptations hard upon me press,
No strength is mine, I know;
Yet more than conqueror am I,
Jesus saves me now!

5 Whate'er my future may require,
His grace will sure allow;
I live a moment at a time,
Jesus saves me now!

6 Why doubt him? he who died now lives;
The crown is on his brow;
The Son of Man hath power on earth,
Jesus saves me now!

7 And when within the pearly gates,
I at his feet shall bow,
The heaven of heaven itself will be—
Jesus saves me now!
