I had heard the Gos­pel call,
Offering pardon free for all,
And I hearkened to the bless­èd in­vi­ta­tion;
Laid my sins at Je­sus’ feet,
Tasted there re­demp­tion sweet,
And He saved me with an ut­ter­most sal­va­tion.

Refrain

Jesus saves, sweetly saves,
Jesus saves me with an ut­ter­most sal­va­tion;
Tho’ I cannot tell you how,
Jesus sweetly saves me now,
With a full, and free, an ut­ter­most sal­va­tion.

Now the load of sin is gone,
And by faith I travel on,
And I rest no longer under con­dem­na­tion;
For the blood has been ap­plied,
And my soul is sa­tis­fied,
With this full, and free, this ut­ter­most sal­va­tion.

Refrain

From the mire and from the clay,
Jesus took my feet away,
And He placed them on the Rock,
The sure Foun­da­tion;
Whether now I live or die,
This shall be my con­stant cry:
Jesus saves me with an ut­ter­most sal­va­tion.

Refrain

When I reach the gold­en street,
And the loved ones glad­ly meet,
The redeemed which came out of great tri­bu­la­tion,
Having washed their gar­ments white,
Praising God both day and night,
For this full, and free, this ut­ter­most sal­va­tion.

Refrain
