O, what a Savior, that He died for me! From condemnation He hath made me free; “He that believeth on the Son,” saith He, “Hath everlasting life.”Refrain: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Verily, verily,” message ever new; “He that believeth on the Son,” ’tis true, “Hath everlasting life.”2. All my iniquities on Him were laid, All my indebtedness by Him was paid; All who believe on Him, the Lord hath said, “Hath everlasting life.”3. Though poor and needy, I can trust my Lord, Though weak and sinful, I believe His Word; O joyful message! Ev’ry child of God “Hath everlasting life.”
