Jesus, Savior, Friend of Sinners

lyricist: Robert Coleman, 1911
Composer: Charles Gabriel

Jesus

Sav­ior

friend of sin­ners

Waits to wel­come

waits to bless;

And I must not keep Him wait­ing

For I long for hap­pi­ness.

He my soul with blood hath ran­somed

And will keep me to the end;

He’s en­ti­tled to my best love

For He is the sin­ner’s friend.

Jesus

Sav­ior

friend of sin­ners

Comes to cheer my heart to­day;

He has shoul­dered ev­ery bur­den

And will help me all the way.

Jesus

Sav­ior

friend of sin­ners

Comes to com­fort

comes to cheer;

And I’ll not go mourn­ing long­er

For He saves me now and here.

Jesus

Sav­ior

friend of sin­ners

He has been a friend to me;

And to think with Him in glo­ry

I shall reign eter­nal­ly!
