Jesus! Lover of my soul;
Friends may fail me, foes assail me,
He, my Savior makes me whole.
Chorus:
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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
4 Jesus! what a Guide and Keeper!
While the tempest still is high;
Storms about me, night o'er takes me,
He, my pilot hears my cry. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus] Topics: Comfort; Worship of God Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL
Our Great Savior
