There is Comfort in the Savior

Verse 1

When I’m grieving o’er the blunders In the work I’ve tried to do, How I failed the threads to follow Of the pattern fair and true; In the tapestry I’m weaving, Ah, so many a blemish wrought, Yet, there’s comfort in my Saviour, There is blessing in the tho’t:—

Chorus

“He shall fail not, nor be discouraged,” He will help me, He will help me o’er and o’er; He will save me, save me fully, Let me trust Him, let me trust Him more and more.

Verse 2

When I’m kneeling, heavy-hearted, With confession on my lips, Sin, its gloomy shadow casting, All the sunshine to eclipse; When I see my best intentions With mistakes and weakness fraught, Then there’s comfort in my Saviour, There is blessing in the tho’t:—

Verse 3

Happy watchword! still ‘tis “forward!” Gird the armor on anew, For the victory is certain, Tho’ we faint, we’ll still pursue; Sweetest hope and consolation, By the gospel message bro’t There is comfort in my Saviour, There is blessing in the tho’t:—
