A Wonderful Savior

Representative Text

1 A wonderful Saviour is Jesus my King,
So gracious and loving is He,
I’ll sing of His marvelous goodness and love,
His mercy for you and for me.

Refrain:
O a wonderful Saviour is Jesus,
Yes, a wonderful Saviour is He;
In mercy He came, O, blest be His name,
For a wonderful Saviour is He.

2 Despised by His people and cursed by His kind,
He suffered and died on the tree,
A stranger, He found me a captive of sin,
He bo’t me and let me go free. [Refrain]

3 He guarded and led me, He strengthened my soul,
Forgave me when sometimes I fell;
His love never failed me, His patience I know
The tongue of man never can tell. [Refrain]

4 O friend of mine, listen, the Christ died for you,
He calls, do not longer delay;
This time is the time of acceptance for you,
The day of salvation today. [Refrain]
