Hymn #287

Saviour Blessed Saviour

Lyrics

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

Nearer, ever nearer,
Christ, we draw to Thee,
Deep in adoration
Bending low the knee.
Thou for our redemption
Camest on earth to die;
Thou, that we might follow,
Hast gone up on high.

Verse 3

Great, and ever greater,
Are Thy mercies here,
True and ever lasting
Are the glories there,
Where no pain, or sorrow,
Toil, or care is known,
Where the angel legions
Circle round Thy throne.

Verse 4

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.

Verse 5

Onward, ever onward,
Journeying o'er the road
Worn by saints before us
Journeying on to God;
Leaving all behind us,
May we hasten on,
Backward never looking
Till the prize is won.
