I first heard this hymn as background music in a Civil War documentary, fell in love with it, and had to wait 20 years or so before I found out the title–Jesus Saves. Here it is, as it was sung at the United Reformed Churches’ 2012 Synod at Nyack College, New York; and that’s the gorgeous Hudson River in the background.
Jesus Christ will save us.
Haven’t heard this one in a while. It does has a militaristic tone to it. When the Salvation Army first began many lost their lives for witnessing for Christ.
So grateful Jesus saves!
