1 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.
2 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]
3 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]
4 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]
5 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]
