O What a Savior

Fanny Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 11:28

Verse 1

Come to the Savior, hear His loving voice; Never will you find a friend so true; Now He is waiting, trust Him and rejoice, Tenderly He calleth you.

Chorus

O, what a Savior standing at the door, Haste while He lingers, pardon now implore Still He is waiting, grieve His love no more, Tenderly He calleth you.

Verse 2

Blest words of comfort, gently now they fall, Jesus is the life, the truth, the way; Come to the fountain, there is room for all; Jesus bids you come today.

Chorus

O, what a Savior standing at the door, Haste while He lingers, pardon now implore Still He is waiting, grieve His love no more, Tenderly He calleth you.

Verse 3

Softly the Spirit whispers in the heart, Do not slight the Savior’s offered grace; Gladly receive Him, let Him not depart; Happy they who seek His face.

Chorus

O, what a Savior standing at the door, Haste while He lingers, pardon now implore Still He is waiting, grieve His love no more, Tenderly He calleth you.

Verse 4

Light in the darkness, joy in any pain, Refuge for the weary and oppressed; Still He is waiting, calling yet again; Come, and He will give you rest.
