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 hid myself in Him;
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,
He, my Strength, my victory wins.
[Refrain]
Jesus! I do now receive Him!
More than all in Him I find,
He hath granted me, forgiveness,
I am His, and He is mine.
[Refrain]
Jesus! What a Help in sorrow!
While the billows o�??er 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 o�??er takes me,
He, my Pilot, hears my cry.
[Refrain]
