Anyone know the lyrics to old gospel hymn “Oh What a Savior is Mine”?

I'm looking for the lyrics to the old gospel hymn "Oh, What a Savior is Mine." This song was written by Emily Hewitt in the 1800s and originally included several verses. In 1990, the McKameys published a version that features only two of those verses. I would really appreciate it if anyone could share the remaining verses or direct me to where I might find them. Thank you!

What a savior is mine

Bethlehem, Calvary, Olivet, tell,

Oh, what a Savior is mine!

Mountain and plain with His praises shall swell,

Oh, what a Savior is mine!

Refrain

Oh, what a Savior!

Oh, what a Savior!

Oh, what a Savior is mine!

Unto the uttermost, wonderful, glorious!

Oh, what a Savior is mine!

There, on the cross, where He died for my sin,

Oh, what a Savior is mine!

Giving His life a poor wand’rer to win,

Oh, what a Savior is mine!

Refrain

Rising again in His infinite grace,

Oh, what a Savior is mine!

Shedding upon me the light of His face,

Oh, what a Savior is mine!

Refrain

Lifting my burdens, relieving my care,

Oh, what a Savior is mine!

Giving me courage to do and to dare,

Oh, what a Savior is mine!

Refrain
