Lyrics

I have a Re­deem­er who saves me from sin;
Now He’s abiding for­ev­er within,
His life for my ransom so freely He gave—
’Tis Je­sus my Sav­ior, mighty to save.

Refrain

Mighty to save! He’s mighty to save,
Yes! Je­sus my Sav­ior is mighty to save!
Sin’s old allurements no longer I crave;
Jesus allures me, mighty to save.

I have a Re­deem­er to pilot me o’er
Life’s angry billows to Hea­ven’s fair shore;
I know He will keep me, tho’ wild be the wave—
’Tis Je­sus my Sav­ior, mighty to save.

Refrain

I have a Re­deem­er, so watchful is He,
Walking beside me, my terrors all flee;
He guards me in danger, and bids me be brave—
’Tis Je­sus my Sav­ior, mighty to save.

Refrain

I have a Re­deem­er, I know He is mine,
Proving His presence by power divine;
I surely can trust Him to conquer the grave—
This Je­sus my Sav­ior, mighty to save.
