Hymn 645
I've a Saviour, kind and tender
- I've a Saviour, kind and tender,
I've a Saviour full of grace.
And a smile of winning sweetness
Ever beams upon His face:
In my heart's shrine of affection
He shall hold the highest place.
How I love Him! How I love Him
Since for me He bled and died
How I love Him, yes I love Him
More tfian all the world beside.
- For my sake He came from heaven
To this world of sin and shame;
Bore my guilt, though He was guiltless.
And though blameless, took my blame:
Can I ever cease to love Him,
And His goodness to proclaim?
- Though I've often been unworthy.
He has constant been, and true;
Though I wronged Him, He forgave me
When I would my vows renew;
Though I spumed Him, He with kindness
My rebellious heart did woo.
- I've a Saviour, kind and tender.
He vvould be your Saviour too;
Will you not accept the pardon
Which He freely offers you?
Take Him now as your Redeemer,
Earth has not a friend so true.
Christly Living
