Jesus is, our Saviour,
Full of tenderness;
Now in heaven He liveth
Little ones to bless.
Once He left His glory,
And the desert trod
As a lonely stranger,
Though the Son of God.
If our souls but trust Him
We can surely say,
All our sins so many
He has washed away;
For His blood most precious
Was for sinners spilt,
When He died On Calvary
For our sin and guilt.
Jesus is our Saviour,
What have we to fear?
He will lead us onward
Through the desert drear
Many sons to glory
He will surely bring;
Jesus is our Captain,
Of His praise we’ll sing.
Jesus is our Saviour,
Who for us has died,
Jesus is our Shepherd,
Now to lead and guide;
‘Twas His grace that sought us,
Wandering far away;
‘Tis His grace that keeps us
Near Him all the way.
