Words: , 1917. This song was first sung in ’s 1919 evan­gel­is­tic cru­sade at Mas­sey Hall in To­ron­to, Ca­na­da. Walk­ing the aisles sell­ing sou­ve­nir song books (one of the first to con­tain the song) was a young man, out of work, and sunk in the depths of dis­cour­age­ment. It was Os­wald Smith. When the 3,400 at­tend­ees sang un­til, in his words, “it seemed as though they would lift the roof,” it great­ly en­cour­aged him with the thought that God “was not go­ing to put me on the shelf.”

Music: (1888-1968).


Saved! saved! saved! my sins are all forgiv’n;
Christ is mine! I’m on my way to Heav’n;
Once a guilty sinner, lost, undone,
Now a child of God, saved thro’ His Son.

Refrain

Saved! I’m saved thro’ Christ, my all in all;
Saved! I’m saved, whatever may befall;
He died upon the cross for me,
He bore the awful penalty;
And now I’m saved eternally—
I’m saved! saved! saved!

Saved! saved! saved! by grace and grace alone;
Oh, what wondrous love to me was shown,
In my stead Christ Jesus bled and died,
Bore my sins, for me was crucified.

Refrain

Saved! saved! saved! oh, joy beyond compare!
Christ my life, and I His constant care;
Yielding all and trusting Him alone,
Living now each moment as His own.
