A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
A wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
He hideth my life in the depths of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.
That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
He hideth my life in the depths of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
He taketh my burden away;
He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength as my day.
He taketh my burden away;
He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength as my day.

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,
And, filled with His fulness divine,
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God,
For such a Redeemer as mine!
And, filled with His fulness divine,
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God,
For such a Redeemer as mine!

When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
I'll shout with the millions on high.
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
I'll shout with the millions on high.

This song is so meaningful to me. It ministered richly to me during one of the most difficult seasons of my life. Thanks for making it available here, music and all. May God continue to bless this wonderful ministry.

I have known this hymn since I was a small boy and with the years I find that this song speaks literally of my life's experience. Irrespective of where I have wandered in nearly 60 years since first meating Jesus I know my Saviour has me in the hollow of His hand.

I just love the second verse when it says "He taketh my burdens away". Each time I go through difficult times and I feel burdened by life's experiences I celebrate for through the second verse I know that it is time for God to take my burdens away.
Brings back childhood days of Mother singing gospel and teaching them to us so glad I learned them. What a beautiful song about God's goodness to us - love and blessing and all things good.
Thank you.

This is one of my favorite hymns, though I love them all because of the love Of God through Christ our Saviour! I get tears in my eyes every time I listen because God is so good to love me, who does not deserve it, but for His cleansing blood!!! Glory to GOD!!

How wonderful to see and read the lovely testimonies from so many different people, Christians, from different countries all over the world. It's so wonderful that the Lord had used this beautiful hymn/song to minister so lovingly to them. Truly - A wonderful Saviour is Jesus our Lord. Thank you.

20 years ago my husband left me. I spent sometime at home nearly 3000 miles away. I sat on the rocky beach one morning distressed and alone and from behind me I heard a rippling waterfall. I immediately thought of these words and at that moment my wonderful Saviour brought me out of my despair and heartache. I knew He would take care of me. The past 20 years have been very difficult at times, but I never forget this song. In these days I'm experiencing what most women go through and it has taken away my joy. I've again turned to this song and it gives me peace to know that my Wonderful Jesus is still as lovely and present as He ever was. And I give Him heartfelt thanks today.

He hides us in the cleft of the rock even when we are not aware. Such a powerful song that I love so dearly, whenever I medidate on it I remember all the goodness my dear Saviour has shown to me over the years, and all I can say is 'Oh what a wonderful saviour I have'. May our faith always remain steadfast knowing that our wonderful Saviour is always watching over us.

This song came to mind for morning worship and I wanted to hear the music, so I used the web. What a great blessing to read all the comments about what a wonderful Savior we have. May God bless all of you, may He add to our faith. Yes, He has a plan and He is coming to take us home!
