Jesus Is My Lord My Master and Saviour

This is a very early praise-and-worship chorus, which is based around the person of Jesus.

The author and composer are unknown: there are various internet references to people remembering it from the 1960s/70s, but no publication details have been located. More recently, a choral arrangement has been published.

The tune sounds similar to some Hebrew/ Israeli folk-songs - but that may just be due to the way it has been performed.

Lyrics

Jesus is my Lord my master and saviour,
Jesus is my Lord my master and saviour,
Jesus is my Lord my master and saviour,
Now and forevermore, Hallelujah, now and forevermore.

Praise you, Jesus, Son of God,
And the Blood of the Lamb;
King of kings and Lord of lords.
God of Abraham, Hallelujah, God of Abraham.

Jesus is the One who delivers me daily,
Jesus is the One who delivers me daily,
Jesus is the One who delivers me daily,
From my sin and shame, Hallelujah, from my sin and shame.
