The Love of God (Lyon)

lyricist: Emma Lyon, 1885
Composer: H. R. Jeffrey

I’m de­light­ed to know

Of this won­der­ful love

That my Je­sus has giv­en to me;

Oh

my heart is so filled

At the thought of His will!

And His love

O His love makes me free.

Oh

the free­dom so sweet

And the glo­ry so bright

For the night has all passed from my soul;

And my heart is aglow

For I’m whit­er than snow

I am saved by the blood and made whole.

Yes

the vic­to­ry’s com­plete

Thro’ our Lord

Jes­us Christ

Who hath suf­fered and died for our sins;

And in Him we have rest

Who hath loved us the best

And His life is now felt in our veins.

O how sweet is the rest

That the Sav­ior doth give

To all those that do come un­to Him!

Yes

my joy is com­plete

For I’m now at His feet

And His blood cleans­eth me from all sin.

Oh

what joy to my soul

Is my dear bless­èd Lord!

He is reign­ing with­in me so sweet

And His life giv­ing stream

Thro’ my spir­it doth gleam

And it makes all with­in me com­plete.
