Jesus Lover of My Soul- wring hymn?

[gersfeld]

All I remember is the very last verse of the song and the chorus and I thought it was "Jesus Locer of My Soul" but it turns out it is NOT the one I remember and it goes like this:

...."Jesus lover of my soul..
Chorus:
halleluiah what a savior,
halleluiah what a friend
trusting, caring, loving, sharing
he is with me to the end.

What is that hymn??!

Hi Gersfeld,

The hymn you're thinking of is called "Jesus! What a Friend for Sinners" by J. Wilbur Chapman and Rowland H. Prichard.

Here are the lyrics:

1.
Jesus! what a Friend for sinners!
Jesus! Lover of my soul;
Friends may fail me, foes assail me,
He, my Savior, makes me whole.

Chorus
Hallelujah! what a Savior!
Hallelujah! what a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.

2.
Jesus! what a Strength in weakness!
Let me hide myself in Him.
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,
He, my Strength, my victory wins.

3.
Jesus! what a Help in sorrow!
While the billows over me roll,
Even when my heart is breaking,
He, my Comfort, helps my soul.

4.
Jesus! what a Guide and Keeper!
While the tempest still is high,
Storms about me, night overtakes me,
He, my Pilot, hears my cry.

5.
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.

Hope it helps. God bless!
Steve
