The New Christian Hymnal ‎#270

270. A Wonderful Savior

1. A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me,
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.

Chorus:
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.

2. A wonderful Savior 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. [Chorus]

3. With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,
And filled with a fullness divine,
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God
For such a Redeemer as mine! [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
