Hallelujah! Jesus Saves Me

Long mine eyes were drowned in tears

And my soul was filled with fears

And I heed­ed not the swift­ly pass­ing years;

For thro’ many a wea­ry day

O’er a long and des­ert way

From the fold of Christ

my Shep­herd

I did stray.

Hallelujah! Je­sus saves me

And my head is sweet­ly pil­lowed on His breast;

Hallelujah

hal­le­lu­jah!

His shekinah cov­ers me and I am blest.

Now I doubt and fear no more

All my heart with bliss runs o’er

And I can but love Him

praise Him and ad­ore;

Skies ab­ove me nev­er low­er

Bright is ev­ery fleet­ing hour

And I sing the day of Je­sus’ migh­ty pow­er.

O how pre­cious is His grace!

O to come to that fair place

Where our souls may drink the light of His dear face!

There be­fore His shin­ing seat

All his saint­ed ones shall meet

Casting down their crowns be­fore His pierc­èd feet.

Will you join us

bro­ther dear

While His voice of love and cheer

Now is call­ing you—O hast­en to His side;

Every day you wait is lost

Sad will be the fear­ful cost

If you blind­ly spurn at last the Cru­ci­fied.
