Jesus Sweetly Saves (Morris)

lyricist: Lelia Morris and Henry Gilmour, 1899
Composer: Lelia Morris

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.

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.

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.

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.
