47. Blessed Saviour

1 Saviour, blessed Saviour,
Listen while we sing;
Hearts and voices ringing,
Praises to our King;
All we have to offer,
All we hope to be,
Body, soul, and spirit,
All we yield to Thee.

Refrain:
Saviour, blessed Saviour,
Listen while we sing;
Hearts and voices raising
Praises to our King.

2 Near, ever nearer,
Christ, we draw to Thee,
Deep in adoration
Bending low the knee;
Thou for our redemption
Cam’st on earth to die;
Thou, that we might follow,
Hast gone up on high. [Refrain]

3 Great and ever greater
Are Thy mercies here,
True and everlasting
Are the glories there,
Where no pain nor sorrow,
Toil nor care is known,
Where the angel-legions
Circle round thy throne. [Refrain]
