34. Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners

“Many… ‘sinners’ came and ate with Him.” Matthew 9:10

Words: J. Wilbur Chapman; Music: Rowland H. Pritchard; Key of F major


Jesus! What a friend for sinners!
Jesus! Lover of my soul.
Friends may fail me, foes assail me
He, my Savior, makes me whole

Hal-le-lu-jah! What a Savior!
Hal-le-lu-jah! What a friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving
He is with me to the end.

Jesus! What a strength in weakness!
Let me hide my soul in Him
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing
He, my strength, my vict’ry wins

Jesus! I do now receive Him
More than all in Him I find
He hath granted me forgiveness
I am His, and His is mine
