Lyrics

O sing the song of sal­va­tion,
Proclaim to every nation,
That Je­sus is waiting,
Is willing and rea­dy,
To save their souls.

Refrain

He saved me, made me free;
What He has done for me, sinner,
He’ll do for you, none but He!
He saved me, soon I’ll be
Singing in glo­ry the beau­ti­ful story,
That He saved me!

He’s promised ever to lead me,
With heav’nly manna to feed me,
His counsel directs me,
His presence consoles me,
The whole day long.

Refrain

I’ll ne­ver cease to adore Him,
For when my spirit before Him
At judg­ment is standing,
If He is my counsel
Then all is well.
