Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners

Jesus! what a friend for sinners! Jesus! lover of my soul; Friends may fail me, foes assail me, He, my Savior, makes me whole. Refrain: Hallelujah! what a Savior! Hallelujah! what a Friend! Saving, helping, keeping, loving, He is with me to the end. Jesus! what a strength in weakness! Let me hide myself in Him. Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing, He, my strength, my victory wins. Jesus! what a help in sorrow! While the billows over me roll, Even when my heart is breaking, He, my comfort, helps my soul. Jesus! what a guide and keeper! While the tempest still is high; Storms about me, night overtakes me, He, my pilot, hears my cry. J. Wilbur Chapman (1910)
