Our Great Savior
Jesus, what a Friend for sinners!
Jesus! Lover of my soul;
Friends may fail me, foes assail me,
He, my Savior, makes me whole.
RefrainHallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! What a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.
Jesus! What a Strength in weakness!
Let me hide myself in Him;
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,
He, my Strength, my victory wins.
(Refrain)
Jesus! What a Help in sorrow!
While the billows over me roll,
Even when my heart is breaking,
He, my Comfort, helps my soul.
(Refrain)
Jesus! What a Guide and Keeper!
While the tempest still is high,
Storms about me, night overtakes me,
He my Pilot, hears my cry.
(Refrain)
Jesus! I do now receive Him,
More than all in Him I find,
He hath granted me forgiveness,
I am His and He is mine.
(Refrain)
