Christ in Song ‎#340

340. Saviour and Friend

1 Rest of the weary,
Joy of the sad,
Hope of the dreary,
Light of the glad;
Home of the stranger,
Strength to the end,
Refuge from danger,
Saviour and Friend;
Refuge from danger,
Saviour and Friend,
Saviour and Friend.

2 Pillow where lying,
Love rests her head;
Peace of the dying,
Life of the dead;
Path of the lowly,
Prize at the end,
Breath of the holy,
Saviour and Friend;
Breath of the holy,
Saviour and Friend,
Saviour and Friend.

3 When my feet stumble,
To Thee I cry;
Crown of the humble,
Cross of the high;
When my steps wander,
Over me bend,
Truer and fonder,
Saviour and Friend;
True and fonder,
Saviour and Friend,
Saviour and Friend.

4 Ever confessing Thee,
I will raise
Unto Thee blessing,
Glory, and praise;
All my endeavor,
World without end,
Thine to be ever,
Saviour and Friend;
Thine to be ever,
Saviour and Friend,
Saviour and Friend.
