2. E - nough for me that Je - sus saves-This ends my fear and doubt; 3. My heart is lean - ing on the Word-The writ-ten Word of God: 4. My great Phy - si, - cian heals the sick- The lost He came to save;
I • trust the Ev - er - liv - ing One- His wounds for me shall plead. A sin - ful soul I come to Him- He'll nev - er cast me out. Sal - va - tion by my Sav-ior's name-Sal - va - tion thru His blood. For me His pre - cious blood He shed- For me His life He gave.
I need no oth - er ar - gu -ment, I need no oth - er plea; It is e - nough that Je - sus died, And that He died for me.

1. Sing a song of cel - e - bra - tion For the her - i - tage we share: 2.Cleared the woods and tamed the prai-ries, Built their cab -ins, raised their barns, 3.Gath-ered con -verts in - to chur - ches, Fought the e- vils of their day,
Faith in Je - sus Christ our Sav - ior, And his com - rade-ship through prayer, Changed the wil - der- ness they found here In - to set - tle-ments and farms. Won the hearts of man - y set - ltiers To the true and liv - ing Way.
To Wis - con - sin's lakes and riv-ers, Prai- ries wide and for - ests deep, Close be - side them came the preach-ers, Her - alds of Christ's bound-less grace, Ours is now the faith they brought here, Ours their fel - low -ship of prayer,
Came the pi - o - neers and set-tlers Seek-ing fer-tile lands and cheap; Braved the new land with its hard-ships, Searched for souls in eve - ry- place; Ours their love for Christ the Sav-ior, Ours to cher - ish and to share. A-men
