Saved to the Uttermost (Canaan Melodies #14)
A lovely holiness song! Based on Hebrews 7:25 - "he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him" - this song is very easy to sing and celebrates God's full salvation in our lives. It reminds me a little of "Blessed Assurance" in its feel. I think it would work well in our churches today still.
1 Saved to the uttermost: I am the Lord's
Jesus, my Savior, salvation affords;
Gives me His Spirit, a witness within,
Whisp'ring of pardon, and saving from sin.
Refrain:
Saved, saved, saved to the uttermost,
Saved, saved by power divine;
Saved, saved, saved to the uttermost,
Jesus, the Savior, is mine!
2 Saved to the uttermost: Jesus is near;
Keeping me safely, He casteth out fear;
Trusting His promises, now I am blest;
Leaning upon Him, how sweet is my rest. [Refrain]
3 Saved to the uttermost: this I can say,
"Once all was darkness, but now it is day;
Beautiful visions of glory I see,
Jesus in brightness revealed unto me." [Refrain]
4 Saved to the uttermost: cheerfully sing
Loud halleluias to Jesus, my King;
Ransomed and pardoned, redeemed by His blood,
Cleansed from unrighteousness: glory to God! [Refrain]
