What a Savior Is Mine!

Bethlehem, Calvary, Olivet, tell,
Oh, what a Savior is mine!
Mountain and plain with His praises shall swell,
Oh, what a Savior is mine!

Refrain

Oh, what a Savior!
Oh, what a Savior!
Oh, what a Savior is mine!
Unto the uttermost, wonderful, glorious!
Oh, what a Savior is mine!

There, on the cross, where He died for my sin,
Oh, what a Savior is mine!
Giving His life a poor wand’rer to win,
Oh, what a Savior is mine!

Refrain

Rising again in His infinite grace,
Oh, what a Savior is mine!
Shedding upon me the light of His face,
Oh, what a Savior is mine!

Refrain

Lifting my burdens, relieving my care,
Oh, what a Savior is mine!
Giving me courage to do and to dare,
Oh, what a Savior is mine!

Refrain
