A WONDERFUL SAVIOUR

A wonderful Saviour is Jesus, my Lord,

a wonderful Saviour to me:

he hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,

where rivers of pleasure I see.




He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,

that shadows a dry, thirsty land;

he hideth my life in the depths of his love,

and covers me there with his hand,

and covers me there with his hand.




A wonderful Saviour is Jesus, my Lord,

he taketh my burden away;

he holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved,

he giveth me strength as my day.




With numberless blessings each moment he crowns,

and, filled with his goodness divine,

I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God

for such a Redeemer as mine!




When clothed in his brightness transported I rise

to meet him in clouds of the sky,

his perfect salvation, his wonderful love,

I'll shout with the millions on high. ......
