One is kind above all
others,
O how He loves!
His is love beyond a
brother’s;
O how He loves!
Earthly friends may fall
and leave thee,
One day kind, the next day
grieve thee;
But this Friend will ne’er
deceive thee;
O how He loves!
’Tis
eternal life to know Him,
O how He loves!
Think, oh think, how much
we owe Him,
O how He loves!
With His precious blood He
bought us,
In the wilderness He sought
us
To His fold He safely
brought us,
O how He loves!
Blessèd Jesus! wouldst
thou know Him?
O how He loves!
Give thine heart, thine all
unto Him;
O how He loves!
Is it sin that pains or
grieves thee,
Unbelief or trials seize
thee?
Jesus can from all release
thee;
O how He loves!
Love this Friend: He
longs to save thee;
O how He loves!
All through life He will
not leave thee;
O how He loves!
Think no more of
friendships hollow;
Take His easy yoke and
follow;
Jesus carries all thy
sorrow;
O how He loves!
All thy sins shall be
forgiven;
O how He loves!
Backward shall thy foes be
driven;
O how He loves!
Best of blessings He’ll
provide thee;
Naught but good shall e’er
betide thee;
Safe to glory He will guide
thee;
O how He loves!
