Precious Savior, Dear Redeemer

Those who know me best would tell you that the things I love most about Easter are marshmallow bunnies, spending time with family and loved ones, and celebrating the life and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ (not in that order, of course).

H.R. Palmer’s lyrics to the hymn Precious Savior, Dear Redeemer are heartfelt and stir the soul. 

I couldn’t decide which verse to share here, so I am including all three.

Precious Savior, dear Redeemer,

Thy sweet message now impart.

May thy Spirit, pure and fervid,

Enter ev’ry timid heart;

Carry there the swift conviction,

Turning back the sinful tide.

Precious Savior, dear Redeemer,

May each soul in thee abide.

Precious Savior, dear Redeemer,

We are weak but thou art strong;

In thy infinite compassion,

Stay the tide of sin and wrong.

Keep thy loving arms around us;

Keep us in the narrow way.

Precious Savior, dear Redeemer,

Let us never from thee stray.

Precious Savior, dear Redeemer,

Thou wilt bind the broken heart.

Let not sorrow overwhelm us;

Dry the bitter tears that start.

Curb the winds and calm the billows;

Bid the angry tempest cease.

Precious Savior, dear Redeemer,

Grant us everlasting peace.
