Hymn 552 SAVIOUR, BLESSED Lyrics

1. Saviour, blessed Saviour,
Listen whilst we sing,
Hearts and voices raising praises to our King;
All we have to offer all we hope to be
Body, soul, and spirit, all we yield to Thee.

2. Nearer, ever nearer, Christ, we draw to Thee,
Deep in adoration bending low the knee;
Thou, for our redemption, cam’st on earth to die;
Thou, that we might follow hast gone up on high

3. Clearer still, and clearer dawns the light from heaven,
In our sadness bringing news of sin forgiven;
Life has lost its shadows,pure the light within,
Thou hast shed Thy radiance on a world of sin.

4. Onward, ever onward, Journeying over the road,
Worn by saints before us, Journeying on to God,
Leaving all behind us, May we hasten on,
Backwards never looking till the prize is won

5. Higher, then, and higher bear the ransomed soul,
Earthly toils forgotten, Saviour, to its goals,
Where, in joys unthought-of, saints with angels,
Sing, never weary, raising praises to their King
