A sin­ner though I am,
Of dark­est, deep­est shade,
A right­eous­ness I claim,
My own thro’ Je­sus made.
Unnumbered worlds would not atone,
But Je­sus bore my sins alone,
But Je­sus bore my sins alone.

Refrain

Saved, O yes, I’m saved,
Saved, O yes, I’m saved;
Thro’ Je­sus’ blood and right­eous­ness,
I now am saved:
Saved, O yes, I’m saved,
Saved, O yes, I’m saved;
Thro’ Je­sus’ blood and right­eous­ness,
I now am saved.

This love in­ef­fa­ble
My heart hath pre­pos­sessed,
And filled my fer­vid soul
With won­der un­ex­pressed;
For thought or word seeks but in vain
The holy mys­tery to ex­plain,
The holy mys­tery to ex­plain.

Refrain

Well might se­ra­phic tongues
Be mute, with sac­red awe;
And Heav’n’s sub­lim­est songs
Suspend, while an­gels saw
A glimpse of what could not be told,
Nor can eter­ni­ty un­fold,
Nor can eter­ni­ty un­fold.

Refrain

Heav’n’s un­ex­am­pled love
To man, in Christ dis­played,
Shall end­less won­der prove,
Unfathomed, un­por­trayed.
Eternal love! the Of­fend­ed dies
To bring the of­fend­er to the skies,
To bring the of­fend­er to the skies.
