Lyrics

What a wonderful Sav­ior is Je­sus,
A wonderful Sav­ior is He;
What a wonderful Sav­ior is Je­sus,
He died for you and me.

Refrain

What a wonderful, wonderful Sav­ior,
He saves, He saves;
What a wonderful Sav­ior is Je­sus,
He saves and keeps me now.

What a wonderful Sav­ior is Je­sus,
He saved a poor sinner like me;
What a wonderful Sav­ior is Je­sus,
There’s pardon waiting for thee.

Refrain

What a wonderful Sav­ior is Je­sus,
He sweetly dwells within;
What a wonderful Sav­ior is Je­sus,
He saves and keeps from sin.

Refrain

What a wonderful Sav­ior is Je­sus,
He’s coming by and by;
What a wonderful Sav­ior is Je­sus,
We’ll reign with Him on high.
