Jesus! what a Friend for sinners!
Jesus! what a Friend for sinners!
Jesus! Lover of my soul;
Friends may fail me, foes assail me,
He, my Savior, makes me whole.
Refrain
Hallelujah! what a Savior!
Hallelujah! what a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.
Jesus! what a Strength in weakness!
Let me hide myself in Him.
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,
He, my Strength, my victory wins.
Refrain
Jesus! what a Help in sorrow!
While the billows over me roll,
Even when my heart is breaking,
He, my Comfort, helps my soul.
Refrain
Jesus! what a Guide and Keeper!
While the tempest still is high,
Storms about me, night overtakes me,
He, my Pilot, hears my cry.
Refrain
Jesus! I do now receive Him,
[or Jesus! I do now adore Him,]
More than all in Him I find.
He hath granted me forgiveness,
I am His, and He is mine.
Refrain
Shalom,
I like the new look of you blog…much better! ; )
ReplyDeleteThanks! :-) I like it a lot better myself - which is good, since I picked it out. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI agree--great hymn, and great hymn tune (called Hyfrydol). It reminds us of the many blessings that are ours when we have a Friend like the Lord Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteIf you enjoy learning about hymns and their authors, I invite you to check out my daily blog on the subject, Wordwise Hymns.
And one quick suggestion: The material on the link you've used was taken, without permission, from a site that it took a friend of mine 13 years to build. The original Cyber Hymnal is now found at this address...

One difference you'll notice right away is that it contains no intrusive advertising.
God bless! And Merry Christmas!
