143. Saviour, Blessed Saviour

1 Saviour, blessed Saviour,
Listen whilst we sing,
Hearts and voices raising
Praises to our King,
All we have to offer:
All we hope to be,
Body, soul, and spirit,
All we yield to thee.

Chorus:
Saviour, blessed Saviour,
Listen, whilst we sing,
Hearts and voices raising
Praises to our King.

2 Nearer, ever nearer,
Christ, we draw to thee,
Deep in adoration
Bending low the knee:
Thou for our redemption
Cam'st on earth to die;
Thou, that we might follow,
Hast gone up on high [Chorus]

3 Great and ever greater
Are thy mercies here;
True and ever lasting
Are thy glories there,
Where no pain, or sorrow,
Toil or care is known,
Where the angel legions
Circle round thy throne. [Chorus]
