A Wonderful Savior

1  

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,  

A wonderful Savior to me.  

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,  

Where rivers of pleasure I see.  

2  

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord;  

He taketh my burden away.  

He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved;  

He giveth me strength as my day.   

3  

With numberless blessings each moment he crowns,  

And filled with his fullness divine,  

I sing in my rapture,“Oh, glory to God  

For such a Redeemer as mine!”  

4  

When clothed in his brightness, transported I rise  

To meet him in clouds of the sky,  

His perfect salvation, his wonderful love,  

I’ll shout with the millions on high.    

Refrain:  

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock  

That shadows a dry, thirsty land.  

He hideth my life in the depths of his love,  

And covers me there with his hand.

Exodus 33:17 And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. 19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by.
