Lyrics

Wonderful Sav­ior, bless­èd Re­deem­er,
Ever in glo­ry, dwell­ing above;
Yet in His mer­cy ten­der­ly smil­ing,
Over the child­ren bend­ing in love.

Refrain

We will adore Him, ga­ther and praise Him,
Voices in con­cert joy­ful­ly blend;
His be the king­dom, pow­er and glo­ry,
Now and for­ev­er, world with­out end.

Sing of His great­ness, in­fi­nite great­ness,
Sing of His good­ness day af­ter day;
Guarding from ev­il, shield­ing from dan­ger,
Leading us on­ward, cheer­ing the way.

Refrain

He is our re­fuge, He is our safe­guard,
Peace to the youth­ful kind­ly He brings;
Sweet is the pro­mise He will pro­tect us,
He will de­fend us un­der His wings.
