Representative Text

1 I'm glad salvation's free,
And without price or cost;

2 In this cold world below,
With none to care for me,
A pilgrim often sad and lone,
I'm glad salvation's free.

3 Once I was blind and lost,
Of sin and sorrow full;
But now I'm saved thro' Jesus' blood,
I feel it in my soul.

4 And now I'm on my way
To brighter worlds above;
I hope to triumph evermore
Through my Redeemer's love.
