I
ONCE I WAS STRAYING IN SIN'S DARK VALLEY;
NO HOPE WITHIN COULD I SEE.
THEY SEARCHED THEU HEAVEN AND FOUND A SAVIOR
TO SAVE A POOR LOST SOUL LIKE ME.
II
HE LEFT THE FATHER, WITH ALL HIS RICHES.
WITH CALMNESS SWEET AND SERENE;
CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND GAVE HIS LIFE BLOOD
TO MAKE THE VILEST SINNER CLEAN.
III
DEATH'S CHILLY WATERS I'LL SOON BE CROSSING;
HIS HAND WILL LEAD ME SAFE O'ER.
I'LL JOIN THE CHORUS IN THAT GREAT CITY.
AND SING UP THERE FOR EVER MORE.
CHORUS
OH, WHAT A SAVIOR! OH, HALLELUJAH,
HIS HEART WAS BROKEN ON CALVARY.
HIS HANDS WERE NAIL SCARED; HIS SIDE WAS RIVEN.
HE GAVE HIS LIFE BLOOD FOR EVEN ME.
