Saved! Saved! Saved! My Sins Are All Forgiv'n

“Saved! Saved! Saved! My Sins Are All Forgiv’n” by Oswald J. Smith is a jubilant hymn celebrating the assurance of salvation through Christ. Written in 1930, the hymn captures the joy and relief of the believer who has experienced the forgiveness of sins. Smith, a Canadian pastor and hymn writer known for his evangelistic zeal, emphasizes the personal testimony of salvation, making the song a triumphant declaration of the transformative power of Christ’s atonement. The opening line immediately conveys a sense of victory and heartfelt gratitude, inviting singers to join in exultant praise.

The hymn reinforces the biblical promise that forgiveness is complete for those who come to God in repentance. Drawing from 1 John 1:9, it underscores that God’s mercy is faithful and cleansing. Each stanza reflects the joy of redemption, the freedom from guilt, and the ongoing peace that comes from knowing one’s sins are forgiven. Its repeated exclamations, “Saved! Saved! Saved!” provide both rhythm and emphasis, making the message memorable and uplifting for congregational worship.

Over the years, this hymn has been widely used in evangelistic meetings, Sunday services, and personal devotionals. Its energetic and celebratory style communicates the deep joy of a redeemed life and serves as both a testimony and a call for others to experience Christ’s forgiveness. By focusing on the certainty of salvation and the joy it brings, Smith’s hymn continues to inspire believers to rejoice in their personal relationship with Jesus and to share the good news of His saving grace.
