Jesus saves and He alone

John H. Sammis • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 1:2

Verse 1

Saviour, but for love like Thine Oh how sad a lot were mine; Come, my soul, His mercies own, Jesus saves and He alone. Helpless, hopeless, doomed and lost, ‘Twas His blood my ransom cost; For my life He gave His own, Jesus saves and He alone.

Verse 2

From the dread of Satan’s power; In temptation’s trying hour; From the snares around me thrown, Jesus saves and He alone. ‘Tis Himself that strives in me; He Himself my victory; Not a battle have I won, Jesus saves and He alone.

Verse 3

Shadow’d ‘neath His shelt’ring hand, Daily by His grace I stand; Safe thru paths untried, unknown, Jesus saves and He alone. From the morrow’s anxious fears; From life’s sorrows, griefs and tears; From the heartache and the moan, Jesus saves and He alone.

Verse 4

He, my righteousness, complete, Spotless at the mercy-seat, ‘Mid the glories of the Throne, Jesus saves and He alone. Jesus saves from first to last; Jesus,—not my holding fast; His the glory, His the crown, Jesus saves and He alone.
