Christ in Song 47
Your Saviour, Too
Words: S. O'Malley CluffMusic: F. E. Belden
1I have a Saviour, he's pleading in glory, A dear, loving Saviour, tho earth-friends be few; And now he is watching in tenderness o'er me, But oh, that my Saviour were your Saviour, too.
RefrainYour Saviour, too, your Saviour, too, My Saviour now can be your Saviour, too.
2I have a Father; to me he has given A hope for eternity, blessed and true; And soon he will call me to meet him in heaven, But oh, that my Father were your Father, too.
3I have a peace; it is calm as a river, A peace that the friends of this world never knew; My Saviour alone is its author and giver, And oh, that my Saviour were your Saviour, too.
4When Jesus comes in his glory descending, And saints to their home in the kingdom he's called, O where will you be when the journey is ending? Dear friend, is the Saviour your Saviour at all?
