My Savior Is Precious to Me (MacGill)

Composer: Wakefield MacGill (1829–1902)

My heart was op­pressed

With the load of my sin

And it bent with the weight of its woe;

At a touch of His hand all the bur­den fell off

Do you won­der my lov­ing Him so?

My Sav­ior is pre­cious to me

My Sav­ior is pre­cious to me

And the more He is known

By His loved and His own

More pre­cious He’s cer­tain to be.

Then He filled me with peace

That the world know­eth not

That is with me wher­ev­er I go;

’Tis the ve­ry same calm that is fill­ing His heart

Do you won­der my lov­ing Him so?

Then He shel­ters

and bless­es

And watch­es o’er me

Be my path­way the high or the low;

I am safe

for His arm is pro­tect­ing His child

Do you won­der my lov­ing Him so?

Oh

will you not love Him

Who first lov­èd you?

Just re­spond

and His sweet­ness you’ll know;

And nev­er again will you want oth­er love

Nor will won­der my lov­ing Him so.
