Jesus! What a Friend for Sinners!

  1. Jesus! what a Friend for sinners!
    Jesus! lover of my soul;
    friends may fail me, foes assail me,
    he, my Savior, makes me whole.
    Hallelujah! what a Savior!
    Hallelujah! what a Friend!
    Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
    he is with me to the end.
  2. Jesus! what a strength in weakness!
    Let me hide myself in him;
    tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,
    he, my strength, my vict’ry wins.
    Hallelujah! what a Savior!
    Hallelujah! what a Friend!
    Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
    he is with me to the end.
  3. Jesus! what a help in sorrow!
    While the billows o’er me roll,
    even when my heart is breaking,
    he, my comfort, helps my soul.
    Hallelujah! what a Savior!
    Hallelujah! what a Friend!
    Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
    he is with me to the end.
  4. Jesus! what a guide and keeper!
    While the tempest still is high,
    storms about me, night o’ertakes me,
    he, my pilot, hears my cry.
    Hallelujah! what a Savior!
    Hallelujah! what a Friend!
    Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
    he is with me to the end.
  5. Jesus! I do now receive him,
    more than all in him I find;
    he hath granted me forgiveness,
    I am his, and he is mine.
    Hallelujah! what a Savior!
    Hallelujah! what a Friend!
    Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
    he is with me to the end.
