Lyrics Jesus! what a Friend for sinners! Jesus! Lover of my soul! Friends may fail me, foes assail me; He, my Saviour, makes me whole. Jesus! what a Strength in weakness! Let me hide myself in Him. Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing, He, my Strength, my vict'ry wins. Jesus! what a Help in sorrow! While the billows o'er me roll, Even when my heart is breaking, He, my Comfort, helps my soul. Jesus! I do now receive Him. More than all in Him I find. He hath granted me forgiveness, I am His, and He is mine. Chorus: Hallelujah! What a Saviour! Hallelujah! What a Friend! Saving, helping, keeping, loving, He is with me to the end.
