Author: Godfrey Thring Hymnal: Christian Hymns #324 (1935) First Line: Savior, blessed Savior, listen while we sing Lyrics: 1 Savior, blessed Savior, listen while we sing,
Hearts and voices raising praises to our King,
All we have we offer; all we hope to be;
Body, soul and spirit, all we yield to Thee.
2 Father, ever farther from Thy wounded side,
Heedlessly we wandered, wandered far and wide;
Till Thou cam'st in mercy, seeking young and old,
Lovingly to bear them, Savior, to Thy fold.
3 Nearer, ever nearer, Christ, we draw to Thee,
Deep in adoration, bending low the knee;
Thou for our redemption cam'st on earth to die;
Thou, that we might follow, hast gone up on high.
4 Great and ever greater are Thy mercies here,
True and ever lasting are the glories there
Where no pain or sorrow, toil or care is known,
Where the angel legions circle round Thy throne.
