A Present Savior
John Greenleaf Whittier (1866) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 46:1
Verse 1
We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For Him no depths can drown.
Verse 2
But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is He; And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee.
Verse 3
The healing of His seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch Him in life’s throng and press, And we are whole again.
Verse 4
O Lord and Master of us all: Whate’er our name or sign, We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call, We test our lives by Thine!
Verse 5
Amen.
