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.

Refrain:

Hallelujah! 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 vict'ry wins. [Refrain]

Jesus! what a help in sorrow!

While the billows o'er 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 o'ertakes 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]
