[V1]
Bb Bb7/D Eb
I cannot tell why He, whom angels worship,
Bb/D F/A Bb/D F F7
Should set His love u-pon the sons of men, ||
Bb Bb7/D Eb Cm
Or why, as Shepherd, He should seek the wand'rers,
Ebm/Gb Bb/F Cm F7 Bb F7
To bring them back, they know not how or when. ||
Bb Eb F Gm Cm F Gm Bb/F
But this I know, that He was born of Mary,
D7/F# Gm Eb Bb/D C7sus C7 F7
When Bethl'hem's manger was His only home, ||
Bb D7/F# Gm Eb Bb/F Gm C7/G
And that He lived at Nazareth and labored,
Ebm/Gb Bb/F Bb7/D Eb Bb/D Cm F7 Bb
And so the Savior, Savior of the world, is come.
[V2]
Bb Bb7/D Eb
I cannot tell how silently He suffered,
Bb/D F/A Bb/D F F7
As with His peace He graced this place of tears, ||
Bb Bb7/D Eb Cm
Or how His heart upon the Cross was broken,
Ebm/Gb Bb/F Cm F7 Bb F7
The crown of pain to three and thirty years. ||
D7/F# Gm Eb Bb/D C7sus C7 F7
But this I know, He heals the broken-hearted,
D7/F# Gm Eb Bb/D C7sus C7 F7
And stays our sin, and calms our lurking fear, ||
Bb D7/F# Gm Eb Bb/F Gm C7/G
And lifts the burden from the heavy laden,
Ebm/Gb Bb/F Bb7/D Eb Bb/D Cm F7 Bb
For yet the Savior, Savior of the world, is here.
[V3]
Bb Bb7/D Eb
I cannot tell how He will win the nations,
Bb/D F/A Bb/D F F7
How He will claim His earthly heritage, ||
Bb Bb7/D Eb Cm
How satisfy the needs and aspirations
Ebm/Gb Bb/F Cm F7 Bb F7
Of east and west, of sinner and of sage. ||
D7/F# Gm Eb Bb/D C7sus C7 F7
But this I know, all flesh shall see His glory,
D7/F# Gm Eb Bb/D C7sus C7 F7
And He shall reap the harvest He has sown, ||
Bb D7/F# Gm Eb Bb/F Gm C7/G
And some glad day His sun shall shine in splendor
Ebm/Gb Bb/F Bb7/D Eb Bb/D Cm F7 Bb
When He the Savior, Savior of the world, is known.
[V4]
Bb Bb7/D Eb
I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship,
Bb/D F/A Bb/D F F7
When, at His bidding, every storm is stilled, ||
Bb Bb7/D Eb Cm
Or who can say how great the jubilation
Ebm/Gb Bb/F Cm F7 Bb F7
When all the hearts of men with love are filled. ||
D7/F# Gm Eb Bb/D C7sus C7 F7
But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture,
D7/F# Gm Eb Bb/D C7sus C7 F7
And myriad, myriad human voices sing, ||
Bb D7/F# Gm Eb Bb/F Gm C7/G
And earth to heaven, and heaven to earth, will answer:
Ebm/Gb Bb/F Bb7/D Eb Bb/D Cm F7 Bb
At last the Savior, Savior of the world, is King.
[E]
Ebm/Gb Bb/F Bb7/D Eb Bb/D Cm F7 Bb
At last the Savior, Savior of the world, is King.
