What a Wonderful Savior

Verse 1
  • Christ has for sin atonement made;
  • What a wonderful Savior!
  • We are redeemed, the price is paid;
  • What a wonderful Savior!
Chorus
  • What a wonderful Savior is Jesus, my Jesus!
  • What a wonderful Savior is Jesus, my Lord!
Verse 2
  • I praise Him for the cleansing blood,
  • What a wonderful Savior!
  • That reconciled my soul to God.
  • What a wonderful Savior!
Chorus
Verse 3
  • He cleansed my heart from all its sin,
  • What a wonderful Savior!
  • And now He reigns and rules therein;
  • What a wonderful Savior!
Chorus
Verse 4
  • He walks beside me in the way:
  • What a wonderful Savior!
  • And keeps me faithful day by day;
  • What a wonderful Savior!
Chorus
Verse 5
  • He gives me overcoming power,
  • What a wonderful Savior!
  • And triumph in each trying hour;
  • What a wonderful Savior!
Chorus
Verse 6
  • To Him I’ve given all my heart:
  • What a wonderful Savior!
  • The world shall never share a part:
  • What a wonderful Savior!
Chorus

Thanks for posting Elisha Hoffman's fine gospel song Brian. (Today is the 80th anniversary of his death.)

I'm glad to hear you enjoy our traditional hymns and gospel songs. They have been a lifelong study of mine. I invite you to check out my daily blog on hymn history, Wordwise Hymns.

(It's great to meet another fan of Holmes and Poirot, as well!)
