Ive A Savior, Kind And Tender

I've a Savior, kind and tender,

I've a Savior 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.

Refrain

How I love Him! How I love Him!

Since for me He bled and died;

How I love Him! Yes, I love Him

More than all the world beside.

For my sake He came from Heaven

To this world of sin and shame;

Bore my guilt, tho' He was guiltless,

And tho' blameless, took my blame:

Can I ever cease to love Him,

And His goodness to proclaim?

Refrain

Tho' I've often been unworthy,

He has constant been, and true;

Tho' I wronged Him, He forgave me

When I would my vows renew;

Tho' I spurned Him, He with kindness

My rebellious heart did woo.

Refrain

I've a Savior, kind and tender,

He would be your Savior, 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.

Refrain
