The Chorus of Praise ‎#82

82. The Saviour for You

1 O, have you been told of the Saviour who came
To die for poor sinners like me?
And have you been told of His wonderful name,
And all that this Saviour will be?
His name is called Jesus, He saves us from sin,
His love is far-reaching and true,
He died on the cross my salvation to win,
And He is the Saviour for you.

Refrain:
O come to the Saviour,
This Friend everlasting and true,
A wonderful, wonderful Saviour for me,
And a wonderful Saviour for you.

2 The soul that is hungry He fills with good things,
The thirsty are ever supplied;
The sorrowing spirit triumphantly sings,
When Jesus is Shepherd and guide,
O, soul, have you taken the Saviour so dear,
Who longeth your heart to renew?
Today He is bringing salvation so near,
And He is the Saviour for you. [Refrain]

3 Dear soul, you are fainting with famine, with strife,
O, come to Him just as you are!
And ask for the bread and the water of life,
And peace that no trial can mar,
In penitence down at His feet will you fall?
Far more than you ask will He do.
A wonderful Saviour is Jesus for all,
And He is the Saviour for you. [Refrain]
