The Half Has Never Been Told

I know I love Thee bet­ter

Lord

Than any earth­ly joy

For Thou hast giv­en me the peace

Which no­thing can de­stroy.

The half has nev­er yet been told

Of love so full and free;

The half has nev­er yet been told

The blood—it cleans­eth me.

I know that Thou art near­er still

Than any earth­ly throng.

And sweet­er is the thought of Thee

Than any love­ly song.

Thou hast put glad­ness in my heart;

Then well may I be glad!

Without the sec­ret of Thy love

I could not but be sad.

O Sav­ior

pre­cious Sav­ior mine!

What will Thy pre­sence be

If such a life of joy can crown

Our walk on earth with Thee?
