Our Great Saviour

by J. Wilbur Chapman

Jesus! what a Friend for sinners!
Jesus! Lover of my soul;
Friends may fail me, foes assail me,
He, my Saviour, makes me whole.

Jesus! what a strength in weakness!
Let me hide myself in Him;
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,
He, my strength, my vict'ry wins.

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.

Jesus! what a guide and keeper!
While the tempest still is high,
Storms about me, night o'er takes me,
He, my pilot, hears my cry.

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

Halelujah! what a Saviour!
Hallelujah! what a friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.
