Couplet 1

On yonder hill the darkness flew
The morning broke in light and dew
When day had come again anew
All we sinners sang

Couplet 2

In muck and mire our wretched souls
Had fallen to the depths below
Hell deserved but there was hope
All we sinners sang

Refrain

Saved we are saved
The gates of Heaven wide open
Saved we are saved
The keys to the grave have been stolen

Couplet 3

What could ever pay the cost
On Calvary's hill there rose a cross
And could it be that evil lost
All we sinners sang

Tag

And all we sinners sang

Refrain

Saved we are saved
The gates of Heaven wide open
Saved we are saved
The keys to the grave have been stolen

Transition

Stolen

Couplet 4

The crimson river like a flood
Came washing over all of us
It swallowed sin and death right up
And all we sinners sang

Tag

And all we sinners sang

Refrain

Saved we are saved
The gates of Heaven wide open
Saved we are saved
The keys to the grave have been stolen

Couplet 5

On yonder hill the darkness flew
The morning breaks in light and dew
When day had come again anew
All we sinners sang
