23. A Wonderful Savior

1 Oh, what a wonderful Savior!
Ruling the earth and the sea,
Filling the world with his glory,
Master and Monarch is he.

Refrain:
Oh, what a wonderful Savior!
Oh, what a wonderful Savior!
Filling the earth with his mercy and peace,
Oh, what a Savior and Lord.

2 Oh, what a wonderful Savior!
Conquering sin and the grave,
Routing the forces of evil,
Able the nations to save. [Refrain]

3 Oh, what a wonderful Savior!
Comfort and cheer of the sad,
Drying the tears of the grieving,
Bidding the mourner be glad. [Refrain]

4 Oh, what a wonderful Savior!
Friend of the friendless is he,
Joy of the ages his presence
Shall in eternity be. [Refrain]
