A Wonderful Saviour Is Jesus My Lord

Lyrics by
Eliza Edmunds Hewitt (1890)
Music by
William Oscar Cushing (1890)
Tune
WONDERFUL SAVIOUR · 8.7.8.7.8.7
Scripture
John 1:29
Verse 1
A wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord,
A wonderful Saviour to me,
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
Refrain
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
He hideth my life in the depths of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.
Verse 2
A wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord,
He taketh my burden away;
He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength as my day.
Verse 3
With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,
And, filled with His fulness divine,
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God,
For such a Redeemer as mine.
Verse 4
When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
I’ll shout with the millions on high.

A devotional hymn emphasizing Jesus as the wonderful and all-sufficient Saviour.
