I Believe Jesus Saves

lyricist: William McDonald, 1885
Composer: Joseph Webster, 1868

I am com­ing to Je­sus for rest

Rest

such as the pu­ri­fied know;

My soul is athirst to be blest

To be washed and made whit­er than snow.

I be­lieve Je­sus saves

And His blood wash­es whit­er than snow;

I be­lieve Je­sus saves

And His blood washes whit­er than snow;

In com­ing

my sin I de­plore

My weak­ness and po­ver­ty show;

I long to be saved ev­er­more

To be washed and made whit­er than snow.

To Je­sus I give up my all

Every trea­sure and id­ol I know;

For His full­ness of bless­ing I call

Till His blood wash­es whit­er than snow.

I am trust­ing in Je­sus alone

Trusting now His sal­va­tion to know;

And His blood doth so ful­ly atone

I am washed and made whit­er than snow.

My heart is in rap­tures of love

Love

such as the ran­somed ones know;

I am strength­ened with might from above

I am washed and made whit­er than snow.
