1 There's a song my heart is singing,
In my soul its tones are ringing,
Peace and rest and joy 't is bringing,
Jesus Christ has power to save!

Chorus:
Sing it o'er again to me
In its sweet simplicity,
Tell it o'er the ocean wave,
Jesus Christ has power to save.

2 Oh, that song my soul is thrilling,
Jesus saves the soul that's willing,
Precious truth my heart 't is filling,
Jesus Christ has power to save! [Chorus]

3 Sinner come, if thou 'lt receive Him,
Look to Jesus and believe Him,;
All your life and service give Him,
Jesus Christ has power to save!
