My soul is happy all day long —
Jesus is my Savior;
And all my life is full of song —
Jesus died for me.
Refrain
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
To the loving Lamb for sinners slain;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
To the Lamb who lives again.
My heavy load of sin is gone —
Jesus is my Savior;
At His dear cross I laid it down —
Jesus died for me.
Refrain
I heard the voice of mercy call —
Jesus is my Savior;
I simply trusted, that was all —
Jesus died for me.
Refrain
Now will I tell it all around —
Jesus is my Savior;
How sweet a blessing I have found —
Jesus died for me.
