31. A Savior of Love

1 How grateful the praises we offer today,
To Christ the Redeemer we prove;
Our sins, tho' as scarlet, are taken away,
For He is a Savior of Love. (a Savior of Love.)

Chorus:
For He is a Savior of Love (a Savior of Love)
A wonderful Savior of Love (a Savior of Love;
O come and partake of His mercy to-day,
For He is a Savior of Love. (a Savior of Love.)

2 What patience to lift us again and again,
Tho' often we stumble and fall;
With strength for our weakness, and solace for pain,
His grace is sufficient for all. (a Savior of Love.) [Chorus]

3 O Giver of faith that increases our sight,
O Rock that shall never remove,
The entrance abundant to Glory and Light;
For He is a Savior of Love (a Savior of Love.) [Chorus]
