His Love Passeth Knowledge

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1891
Composer: John Sweney

There is joy in my soul

For the Sav­ior is mine

I am wear­ing the pledge

Of His Spir­it di­vine;

Every pro­mise by faith

Through His grace I may claim

Oh

His love pass­eth know­ledge

All praise to His name.

There is joy in my soul

There is joy in my song

I am near­ing the gates

Of the bright

shin­ing throng;

And I list to the mu­sic

Of Ed­en so fair

Hallelujah to Je­sus

I soon shall be there.

There is joy in my soul

That will nev­er de­part

My Re­deem­er has made

His ab­ode in my heart;

From the tempt­er and sin

I am kept ev­ery hour

Oh

His love pass­eth know­ledge

So great is its pow­er.

There is joy in my soul

Though the clouds may arise

Yet the bow of His mer­cy

Ne’er fades from the skies;

I am stand­ing by faith

Where the pure wa­ters glide

Oh

His love pass­eth know­ledge

So deep and so wide.

There is joy in my soul

There is rap­ture and rest

In my Sav­ior and Lord

I am per­fect­ly blest;

’Twill be on­ly a step

Ere my feet press the shore

Then His love pass­eth know­ledge

I’ll shout ev­er­more.
