Lyrics

What a Sav­ior Je­sus is!
He is mine, and I am His;
He the price of sin has paid,
And for me atone­ment made.

Refrain

What a Sav­ior, what a Sav­ior,
What a Sav­ior Je­sus is!
I will praise Him, ev­er praise Him,
He is mine, and I am His!

What a Sav­ior! praise His name,
That to earth for me He came;
Not the least, but all He gave,
My im­mor­tal soul to save.

Refrain

What a Sav­ior! all the way
Walking with me, day by day,
Guiding by His ho­ly will,
Guarding me from ev­ery ill.

Refrain

What a Sav­ior! and I know
When to that bright world I go,
Saved by His re­deem­ing grace,
I shall see Him face to face.

Refrain

What a Sav­ior! how He loves,
Ev’ry hour His mer­cy proves;
Listen, for He speaks to thee:
Take thy cross, and fol­low Me!
