This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Working will not save me;

    Purest deeds that I can do,

    Holiest thoughts and feelings too,

    Cannot form my soul anew;

    Working will not save me.

 

Jesus wept and died for me;

Jesus suffered on the tree;

Jesus waits to make me free,

He alone can save me.

 

 2  Weeping will not save me;

    Though my face were bathed in tears,

    That could not allay my fears,

    Could not wash the sins of years;

    Weeping will not save me.

 

Jesus wept and died for me;

Jesus suffered on the tree;

Jesus waits to make me free,

He alone can save me.

 

 3  Waiting will not save me;

    Helpless, guilty, lost I lie,

    In my ear is mercy's cry;

    If I wait I can but die:

    Waiting will not save me.

 

Jesus wept and died for me;

Jesus suffered on the tree;

Jesus waits to make me free,

He alone can save me.

 

 4  Praying will not save me;

    All the prayers that I could say

    Could not wash my sins away,

    All I owe could never pay:

    Praying will not save me.

 

Jesus wept and died for me;

Jesus suffered on the tree;

Jesus waits to make me free,

He alone can save me.

 

 5  Faith in Christ will save me;

    Let me trust Thy gracious Son,

    Trust the work that He has done,

    To His arms, Lord, help me run;

    Faith in Christ will save me.

 

Jesus wept and died for me;

Jesus suffered on the tree;

Jesus waits to make me free,

He alone can save me.
