1. I have found, I have found the way Which leads to heav'nly rest; I have found, I have found the peace Which filled my Savior's breast. O friends in the desert past, Come, join in the prayer and praise; E'en now He waits our cry, The Savior who saves always. 2. He hath taken our sins away, When on Calv'ry's cross He bled; The disease of our soul He heals By His Spirit freely shed; Though Satan hath pierced us deep, And great the grace each prays; The more we prove His might, The Savior who saves always. 3. Long alas! in the gloom I fought, 'Mid strife of wind and waves; Jesus seemed only this to me: A Savior who sometimes saves. But sweet are the light and calm That fill my happy days, Since now I fully trust The Savior who saves always. 4. O my Sun and my Shield art Thou! Lead on where Thou hast trod; My Salvation, my Joy, my Song, My Brother, and yet my God. Whate'er then my life betide, I now can trust and praise; Each moment Thou wilt save, O Savior, who sav'st always.
