Lyrics

Jesus the Sav­ior, dy­ing on Cal­v’ry,
Purchased my par­don, set­ting me free.
Love so abun­dant, should I not serve Him,
When He so glad­ly suf­fered for me?

Refrain

Lord, I am Thine, Sav­ior di­vine,
O what a joy
Just to know, Thou art mine.

O what a Sav­ior, ten­der and lov­ing,
Guarding my foot­steps lest I should stray;
Love so abun­dant, lead­ing me ev­er,
Out of the dark­ness in­to the day.

Refrain

Constant com­panion, leav­ing me ne­ver,
Bidding me fol­low close by Thy side;
He is my re­fuge, safe­ly I shel­ter,
Knowing He loves me, what­e’er be­tide.
