Hymn 5

A wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord

Fanny J. Crosby

Verse 1

A wonderful Saviour is Jesus my Lord,

A wonderful Saviour to me;

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,

Where rivers of pleasure I see.

Chorus

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 x 2

Verse 2

A wonderful Saviour 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.

Chorus

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 x 2

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!”

Chorus

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 x 2

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.

Chorus

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 x 2
