Verse 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.
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, And covers me there with His hand.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
