Hymn 202 JESUS! WHAT A FRIEND Lyrics

1. Jesus! What a friend for sinners!
Jesus! Lover of my soul;
Friends may fail me, foes assail me,
He, my Saviour, makes me whole.

Chorus:
Halleluiah! What a Saviour!
Halleluiah! What a friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end

2. Jesus! What a strength in weakness!
Let me hide myself in Him;
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing.
He, my strength, my victory wins.

3. Jesus! What a help in sorrow!
While the billows over me toll,
Even when my heart is breaking.
He, my comfort, helps my soul.

4. Jesus! What a guide and keeper!
While the tempest still is high,
Storms about me, night o’er takes me,
He, my pilot, hears my cry.

5. Jesus! I do now receive Him,
More than all in Him I find,
He hath granted me forgiveness,
I am His, and He is mine
