What a brother we’ve found in the Saviour, One who never forsakes in our need, One who feels thro’ His cross ev’ry sorrow, Oh, He’s just such a Christ as we need.

Oh, He’s just such a Christ as we need, He who for the erring will plead, He who like a shepherd will lead, Oh, He’s just such a Christ as we need.
