| 1. | 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! |
| 2. | '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! |
| 3. | 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! |
| 4. | 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! |
