Author: Godfrey Thwing Hymnal: Junior Songs #143 (1892) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, blessed Saviour,
Listen whilst we sing,
Hearts and voices raising
Praises to our King,
All we have to offer:
All we hope to be,
Body, soul, and spirit,
All we yield to thee.
Chorus:
Saviour, blessed Saviour,
Listen, whilst we sing,
Hearts and voices raising
Praises to our King.
2 Nearer, ever nearer,
Christ, we draw to thee,
Deep in adoration
Bending low the knee:
Thou for our redemption
Cam'st on earth to die;
Thou, that we might follow,
Hast gone up on high [Chorus]
3 Great and ever greater
Are thy mercies here;
True and ever lasting
Are thy glories there,
Where no pain, or sorrow,
Toil or care is known,
Where the angel legions
Circle round thy throne. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Saviour, blessed Saviour]
Saviour, Blessed Saviour
