I have heard of Jesus in Bethlehem born,
Of whom it hath been said,
That a star the wise men followed from far,
Till they reached His lowly bed.
He is my Saviour! This same Jesus of whom I've heard;
He is my Saviour! I've found it in His Word.
I have heard of Jesus on Galilee's wave;
The wind obeyed His will,
And the sea grew calm at hearing His voice
In the wondrous “Peace, be still! "
He is my Saviour! This same Jesus of whom I've heard;
He is my Saviour! I've found it in His Word.
I have heard of Jesus at Bethany's home,
When standing by the grave,
How He cried, “Come forth, O
Lazarus, now! "
In His mighty power to save.
He is my Saviour! This same Jesus of whom I've heard;
He is my Saviour! I've found it in His Word.
I have heard of Jesus on Calvary's brow, —
He died a Saviour true;
And He said, “Forgive them, Father,
For they know not what they do."
He is my Saviour! This same Jesus of whom I've heard;
He is my Saviour! I've found it in His Word.
I have heard of Jesus in sepulchre laid,
In death's dark, sullen gloom;
How He burst the bars, and rising, came forth,
Mighty Victor from the tomb.
He is my Saviour! This same Jesus of whom I've heard;
He is my Saviour! I've found it in His Word.
