Verse 1

Once I was straying in sin's dark valley
No hope within could I see
They searched thro' heaven and found a Savior
To save a poor lost soul like me

Chorus

O what a Savior O hallelujah
His heart was broken on Calvary
His hands were nail-scarred
His side was riven
He gave His lifeblood for even me

Verse 2

He left the Father with all His riches
With calmness sweet and serene
Came down from heaven and gave His lifeblood
To make the vilest sinner clean

Verse 3

Death's chilly waters I'll soon be crossing
His hand will lead me safe o'er
I'll join the chosen in that great city
And sing up there forevermore
