Lyrics

I have such a won­der­ful Sav­ior,
Who helps me wher­ev­er I go;
That I must be tell­ing His good­ness
For ev­ery­bo­dy should know.

Refrain

Everybody should know,
Everybody should know;
I have such a won­der­ful Sav­ior,
That ev­ery­bo­dy should know.

His mer­cy and love are un­bound­ed,
He makes me with glad­ness o’er­flow;
Oh, He is the Chief of ten thou­sand
That ev­ery­bo­dy should know.

Refrain

He helps me when tri­als sur­round me,
His grace and His good­ness to show;
Oh, how can I help but adore Him
That ev­ery­bo­dy should know.

Refrain

My life and my love I will give Him,
And faith­ful­ly serve Him below;
Who brought me His won­drous sal­va­tion,
That ev­ery­bo­dy should know.
