Lyrics

There’s no one like my Sav­ior,
No friend can be like Him;
My ne­ver failing sunshine
When earthly lights grow dim;
When summer flowers are blooming,
The brightness of my joy,
O, may His happy service
My heart and life employ!

Refrain

No one, no one like my precious Sav­ior,
No one, no one such a friend can be;
No one, no one like my precious Sav­ior,
Glory, glo­ry, Je­sus cares for me.

There’s no one like my Sav­ior;
In seasons of distress,
He draws me closer to Him,
To comfort and to bless;
He gives me, in temptation,
The strength of His right arm;
His angels camp around me,
To keep me from all harm.

Refrain

There’s no one like my Sav­ior,
He pardons all my sin;
And gives His Ho­ly Spi­rit,
A springing well within;
He leads me out to service,
With gentle touch and mild;
O, wonder of all wonders,
That I should be His child.

Refrain

There’s no one like my Sav­ior;
Come now, and find it true;
He gave His life a ransom,
His blood was shed for you;
Then when we reach the city
Of ev­er­last­ing light,
We’ll sing with saints and angels,
All honor, power and might.

Refrain
