Jesus! What a Friend for Sinners!
Sunday, October 5, 2008 at 05:58AM Jesus! What a Friend for Sinners
Jesus! what a Friend for sinners!Jesus! Lover of my soul;
Friends may fail me, foes assail me,
He, my Saviour, makes me whole.
Hallelujah! what a Saviour!
Hallelujah, what a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.
Jesus! what a strength in weakness!
Let me hide myself in him;
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,
He, my strength, my vict'ry wins.
Jesus! what a help in sorrow!
While the billows o'er me roll,
Even when my heart is breaking,
He, my comfort, helps my soul.
Jesus! what a guide and keeper!
While the tempest still is high,
Storms about me, night o'ertakes me,
He, my pilot, hears my cry.
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.
Trinity Hymnal #432

Amen what a friend he is to this sinner!
We had this played at our wedding- love it!
One of my very favorite hymns! I so enjoyed singing it this morning!
