I was a wayward, wandering child,
I walked in sin, I was defiled,
Oh, how the world my soul beguiled!
How dark the night around me!
But, while I wandered far away,
I heard the voice of Jesus say:-
"Come, follow me, I am the way;"
Oh, yes! the Saviour found me.
Oh, he's my Saviour, this I know,
For he the witness doth bestow;
I'll tell the story where I go.
That Jesus is my Saviour.
I turned and sought forgiving grace,
The Saviour showed his lovely face,
I felt his blood my sins efface,
He saved me, hallelujah!
My load of sin then rolled away,
My night was sweetly turned to day,
My feet are in the narrow way,
I've found the land of Beulah.
Oh, he's my Saviour, this I know,
For he the witness doth bestow;
I'll tell the story where I go.
That Jesus is my Saviour.
No carping cares depress me now,
No fear of ill disturbs my brow,
No storms affright, though loud they blow,
Since Jesus is my Saviour,
Contented in his love I rest,
I go or stay at his behest;
My days glide on, supremely blest,
While walking in his favor.
Oh, he's my Saviour, this I know,
For he the witness doth bestow;
I'll tell the story where I go.
That Jesus is my Saviour.
Adieu to sin and vain desire!
My soul has caught the heavenly fire,
And now, with joy, my powers aspire
Toward heaven, my home in glory.
Come on, my friends, companions, come,
No more in sin an exile roam;
The price is paid, who will may come,
Oh, wondrous, wondrous story!
Oh, he's my Saviour, this I know,
For he the witness doth bestow;
I'll tell the story where I go.
That Jesus is my Saviour.
