Thou Art a Mighty Savior

Blessed Lamb of Calvary, Thou hast done great things for me

Author: George S. Smith
Tune: [Blessed Lamb of Calvary] (Smith)
Published in 7 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Blesséd Lamb of Calvary,
Thou hast done great things for me,
Thou didst leave thy throne above,
Thou didst suffer out of love.

Refrain:
Thou art a mighty Saviour,
Thy love doth never waver,
Thou shall be mine for ever,
And thine alone I’ll be.

2 Thou wast to the slaughter led,
Thou didst bow thy sacred head,
‘Twas for me thy blood was spilt
That I might be cleansed from guilt.

3 In thy mercy, rich and free,
Thou hast pardoned even me;
Thou dost keep me every hour,
By thy Holy Spirit’s power.

4 Draw me closer, Lord, to thee;
May my life a blessing be;
May it be a life of love;
Lord, supply me from above.

5 Now, Lord, let my light so shine
That the world may know I’m thine;
May I bear much fruit in thee
That will stand eternally.
