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
