- 1Our Savior once wandered on earth as a man,Both footsore and weary to Samaria’s land,A story He told, most wondrously grand,Salvation thro’ Jesus for poor sinful man!We’ll sing this sweet song(We’ll sing this sweet song, O, this beautiful song!) this glorious song,(We’ll sing this sweet song, O, this glorious song,)Of Jesus who dies on the tree!He died on the tree,(He died on the cruel cross, died on the tree,) for you and for me!(He died on mount Calv’ry, for you and for me!)O, sing the sweet story, Salvation is free.
- 2Sore, weary, and thirsty,He came to a well,And there, to find a woman, this story did tell,She heard it with joy, for her soul could be free,And she this salvation thro’ Jesus did see!We’ll sing this sweet song(We’ll sing this sweet song, O, this beautiful song!) this glorious song,(We’ll sing this sweet song, O, this glorious song,)Of Jesus who dies on the tree!He died on the tree,(He died on the cruel cross, died on the tree,) for you and for me!(He died on mount Calv’ry, for you and for me!)O, sing the sweet story, Salvation is free.
- 3Then brother, let’s sing this sweet story, so true,Salvation thro’ Jesus, for me and for you!Let ev’ry glad heart this great message now tell,The same and sweet story, there, told at the well.We’ll sing this sweet song(We’ll sing this sweet song, O, this beautiful song!) this glorious song,(We’ll sing this sweet song, O, this glorious song,)Of Jesus who dies on the tree!He died on the tree,(He died on the cruel cross, died on the tree,) for you and for me!(He died on mount Calv’ry, for you and for me!)O, sing the sweet story, Salvation is free.
