Dearer Than All

A. H. Ackley • English

Verse 1

Ye who the love of a mother have known, There is a love sweeter far you may own, Love all-sufficient for sin to atone; Jesus is dearer than all.

Chorus

Dearer than all, yes, dearer than all, He is my King, before Him I fall; No friend like Jesus my soul can enthrall, Jesus is dearer, far dearer than all.

Verse 2

Jesus entreats you in Him to confide, Make Him your constant companion and guide; He can do more than the whole world beside; Jesus is dearer than all.

Chorus

Dearer than all, yes, dearer than all, He is my King, before Him I fall; No friend like Jesus my soul can enthrall, Jesus is dearer, far dearer than all.

Verse 3

Heaven, with all of its beauty so rare, With my Redeemer can never compare; He is the glory transcendent up there; Jesus is dearer than all.

Chorus

Dearer than all, yes, dearer than all, He is my King, before Him I fall; No friend like Jesus my soul can enthrall, Jesus is dearer, far dearer than all.
