1 Wonderful Saviour, in him I am trusting,
Wonderful price for my ransom he gave;
Trusting in him in his merits I'm resting,
He is my all, he is mighty to save.

Chorus:
Mighty to save! mighty to save!
Blessed Redeemer, the mighty to save!
Giving his life for the life of the sinner,
Our blessed Redeemer the mighty to save.

2 Wonderful Saviour, for him I am living,
Grateful to him for the life that he gave;
And for the blessings to me he's now giving,
He is my Saviour and mighty to save. [Chorus]

3 Come now, dear lost one, for you we are praying,
God hath so lov'd you, a Saviour he gave;
Trust him to save you and keep you from straying,
He is your Saviour and mighty to save. [Chorus]
