Refrain: I love Jesus, hallelujah! I love Jesus, yes, I do, I do; I love Jesus, He’s my Savior; Jesus smiles and loves me too. I will tell you what induced me In the glorious fight to start: ’Twas the Savior’s loving-kindness Overcame and won my heart. When I first commenced my warfare, Many said, “He’ll run away”; But their words have been unfounded— In the fight I am today. I’m “a wonder unto many,” God alone the change has wrought, Here I raise my Ebenezer, Hither by His help I’m brought. When to death’s dark, swelling river, Like a warrior I shall come; Then I mean to shout “Salvation!” And go singing “glory!” home.

I’m a soldier bound for glory,
I’m a soldier going home;
Come and hear me tell my story—
All who love the Savior, come.
- Refrain:
  I love Jesus, hallelujah!
  I love Jesus, yes, I do, I do;
  I love Jesus, He’s my Savior;
  Jesus smiles and loves me too.
I will tell you what induced me
In the glorious fight to start:
’Twas the Savior’s loving-kindness
Overcame and won my heart.
When I first commenced my warfare,
Many said, “He’ll run away”;
But their words have been unfounded—
In the fight I am today.
I’m “a wonder unto many,”
God alone the change has wrought,
Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by His help I’m brought.
When to death’s dark, swelling river,
Like a warrior I shall come;
Then I mean to shout “Salvation!”
And go singing “glory!” home.
