Lyrics

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!
