The Wonderful Savior

lyricist: D. C. Carson, 1897
Composer: Charles Gabriel

I’ve found a friend

the best of all

Jesus

the won­der­ful Sav­ior!

He heard my weak but ear­nest call

Jesus

the won­der­ful Sav­ior!

When lost in sin He heard my cry

To earth He came for me to die;

And now He’s reign­ing up on high

Is this won­der­ful

won­der­ful Sav­ior!

Wonderful

won­der­ful Sav­ior!

Wonderful

won­der­ful Sav­ior!

Of Him I’ll sing

and ev­er will cling

To this won­der­ful

won­der­ful Sav­ior!

With outcast sin­ners He did eat

Jesus

the won­der­ful Sav­ior!

And washed His own dis­ci­ples’ feet

Jesus

the won­der­ful Sav­ior!

Tho’ with­out sin

for us He died

On Calv’ry’s cross was cru­ci­fied;

Buried

arose

and glo­ri­fied

Was this won­der­ful

won­der­ful Sav­ior!

For us He suf­fered want and shame

Jesus

the won­der­ful Sav­ior!

We’re saved thro’ faith in His dear name

Jesus

the won­der­ful Sav­ior!

No oth­er name for sin­ners giv’n

No oth­er name in earth or Heav’n;

But all must come

who’d be for­giv’n

To this won­der­ful

won­der­ful Sav­ior!
