Text: | Precious Savior |
Author: | Harriet E. Jones |
Tune: | [When the shadows round me gather] |
Composer: | J. H. Rosecrans |
1 When the shadows round me gather,
Shutting out the light of day,
When the clouds hang low and lower,
Hiding every cheering ray.
Then I fly to my Redeemer,
Lift my heart to Him for light,
When He scatters all the darkness,
And again my way grows light.
Chorus:
Precious Saviour, Precious Saviour,
Loving Saviour, tender Friend!
He shall comfort , soothe, uphold me,
Till this toilsome life shall end.
2 When the burdens seem too heavy,
And my soul is sore oppressed,
When my hands and feet grow weary,
And there seems no place of rest,
Then I fly to my Redeemer,
Cast on Him my every care,
When he tells me, sweetly tells me:
“I will all your burdens share.” [Chorus]
3 When the friends I love so dearly,
Fall beside me, one by one,
When my heart grows faint within me,
As I journey all alone,
Then I fly to my Redeemer,
Loving Jesus ever nigh,
When I hear those words of promise:
“You shall meet them by and by.” [Chorus]
