56. Jesus, My Saviour

1 Jesus, my Saviour,
O, how dear Thou art to me,
When I behold Thee
On dark Calvary,
But I find Thee dearer
When upon life’s dusty road,
Thou dost say “Com nearer,
Cast on my thy load.”

Refrain:
Jesus, my Saviour,
Wilt Thou tarry by my side,
Man of my Counsel,
Brother, friend and guide?

2 Jesus, my Saviour,
Thou art dear, so dear to me,
When Thy grave opens
When the shadows flee,
But my heart was broken
with the love that came to me,
When the words were spoken,
Words that set me free. [Refrain]

3 Jesus, my Saviour,
Thou wilt be the first and best,
Till cords are broken
And I sink to rest,
Then, when I behold Thee,
When mine eyes Thy face shall see,
With Thy love enfold me,
All Eternity. [Refrain]
