Our Great Saviour

Words by John W. 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.

Chorus:
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!
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.

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'ertakes 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.
