1 How kind is His heart, how strong is His arm,
And Jesus is mighty to save;
A friend ever near, a refuge from harm,
A wonderful Saviour to all who believe.

Chorus:
He’s a friend indeed, He is all we need,
he’s a wonderful, wonderful Saviour.

2 And He will forgive the sins of the past,
Renew ev’ry heart by His grace;
Each burden we bear, on Him we may cast,
And we may be fill’d with His glory and praise. [Chorus]

3 His light will not fail, His love will endure,
Tho’ heaven and earth pass away;
Held fast by His hand each life is secure;
This wonderful Saviour will keep us each day. [Chorus]
