710. A wonderful Saviour is Jesus, my Lord

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

Refrain:
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.

2 A wonderful Saviour 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.

3 With numberless blessings each moment he crowns,
And, filled with his goodness divine,
I sing in my rapture: O glory to God
For such a redeemer as mine!
