Text Based On John Chapter 6
And Jesus said unto them, I am the
bread of life: he that cometh to me
shall never hunger; and he that believeth
on me shall never thirst

A Savior Ever Nigh

O praise our great and gracious Lord,
And call upon His Name;
To strains of joy tune every chord,
His mighty acts proclaim;
Tell how He led His chosen race
To Canaan’s promised land;
Tell how His covenant of grace
Unchanged shall ever stand.

He gave the shadowing cloud by day,
The moving fire by night;
To guide His Israel on their way,
He made their darkness light;
And have we not a sure retreat,
A Savior ever nigh,
The same clear light to guide our feet,
The Dayspring from on high?

We, too, have manna from above,
The Bread that came from Heaven;
To us the same kind hand of love
Hath living waters given;
A Rock have we, from whence the spring
In rich abundance flows;
The Rock is Christ, our Priest, our King,
Who life and health bestows.
