A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
A wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
He hideth my life in the depths of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.
That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
He hideth my life in the depths of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
He taketh my burden away;
He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength as my day.
He taketh my burden away;
He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength as my day.

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,
And, filled with His fulness divine,
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God,
For such a Redeemer as mine!
And, filled with His fulness divine,
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God,
For such a Redeemer as mine!

When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
I’ll shout with the millions on high.
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
I’ll shout with the millions on high.

So many saints, from all ages, from every region of the world including even 'closed' communities of the world, praising the Lord for His goodness-surely Heaven will be soooo sweet! Can't wait to see you all. Wow, even eternity will be too short to listen to your and my reviews of overflowing worship. Keep the faith.

It seems that this hymn links to Exodus 33. Elija also had a similar experience in 1 King 19. This touched me profoundly. His glory is so powerful yet so gentle.

I feel His love come over me when I sing this hymn, strongly. I almost feel His hand touch me gently to protect me. He is my forever blessed Savior! How blessed I am!

Several years ago, I really needed a touch from God. I was as low and discouraged as one could be. A lady sang this song in our worship service and the Holy Spirit came to me and provided me the spiritual lift I needed. This song has been one of my favorites ever since.

We sang this hymn in our family devotions this am because we read Exodus 32 & how God hid Moses in "the cleft of the rock" as His glory passed by. I couldn't remember the hymn but found the words here. Thank you!

God has been so gracious to me, even in troublesome times in my country here: Nigeria. this is the song to keep afloat in dark and troubled waters any moment in time. Dear Lord JESUS, You are our shelter in the time of storm. Thank you.

HIS song will be with me in the dry land.

This my favorite hymn, though I love every hymn written by these wonderful brothers and sisters as they were and are still inspired by our Wonderful Lord and Savior who loves us without measure.
He died for a sinner such as I, and tears form in my eyes, whenever I listen to these precious gospel hymns. Glory to GOD! He is Worthy of praise and adoration.

This song came to mind as my first thought this morning and played it on my small harp. I looked up the lyrics and found all these wonderful comments from so many of my brothers and sisters in the Lord all over the world. It is impossible to be alone when we are hidden in Christ. We are truly one heart and mind in Him. It seems as though we all have one foot in heaven praising for his wonderful provision, and one foot on earth giving glory to Jesus our Lord.
