Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners
Words: J. Wilbur Chapman · Music: Rowland Prichard · 1910
Verse 1
Jesus, what a Friend for sinners!
Jesus, Lover of my soul;
friends may fail me, foes assail me—
he, my Savior, makes me whole.
Chorus
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
Hallelujah, what a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving;
he is with me to the end.
Verse 2
Jesus, what a strength in weakness!
Let me hide myself in him;
tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,
he, my strength, my vict'ry wins.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
Jesus, I do now receive him;
more than all in him I find;
he has granted me forgiveness:
I am his, and he is mine!
