  1. 1Jesus! what a friend for sinners!Jesus! Lover of my soul!Friends may fail me, foes assail me,He, my Savior, makes me whole.Hallelujah! what a Savior!Hallelujah! what a friend!Saving, helping, keeping, loving,He is with me to the end.
  2. 2Jesus! what a strength in weakness!Let me hide myself in Him;Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,He, my strength, my vict’ry wins.Hallelujah! what a Savior!Hallelujah! what a friend!Saving, helping, keeping, loving,He is with me to the end.
  3. 3Jesus! what a help in sorrow!While the billows o’er me roll;Even when my heart is breaking,He, my comfort, helps my soul.Hallelujah! what a Savior!Hallelujah! what a friend!Saving, helping, keeping, loving,He is with me to the end.
  4. 4Jesus! 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.Hallelujah! what a Savior!Hallelujah! what a friend!Saving, helping, keeping, loving,He is with me to the end.
  5. 5Jesus! I do now receive Him,More than all in Him I find;He hath granted me forgiveness,I am His, and He is mine.Hallelujah! what a Savior!Hallelujah! what a friend!Saving, helping, keeping, loving,He is with me to the end.
