I Have a Dear Savior, the Best of My Friends PRECIOUS—Elisha Albright Hoffman I Have a Dear Savior, the Best of My Friends 1 I have a dear Savior, the best of my friends; No other with Christ can compare; Wherever the lot of my life may be cast, To comfort and bless He is there. Chorus Unspeakably precious is He, Unspeakably precious to me, In song and acclaim I praise the dear name, So full of love’s sweetness to me; In song and acclaim I praise the dear name, Unspeakably precious to me.
