One there is above all others

One there is above all others

Oh

how He loves!

His is love beyond a brother’s

Oh

how He loves!

Earthly friends may fail or leave us

One day soothe

the next day grieve us;

But this Friend will ne’er deceive us:

Oh

how He loves!

’Tis eternal life to know Him

Oh

how He loves!

Think

oh

think how much we owe Him

Oh

how He loves!

With His precious blood He bought us

In the wilderness He sought us

To His flock He safely brought us:

Oh

how He loves!

Blessed Jesus! would you know Him?

Oh

how He loves!

Give yourselves entirely to Him

Oh

how He loves!

Think no longer of the morrow

From the past new courage borrow

Jesus carries all your sorrow:

Oh

how He loves!

All your sins shall be forgiven

Oh

how He loves!

Backward shall your foes be driven

Oh

how He loves!

Best of blessings He’ll provide you

Nought but good shall e’er betide you

Safe to glory He will guide you:

Oh

how He loves!
