O How He Loves

Verse 1

One there is above all others, O how he loves! His is love beyond a brother’s, O how he loves! Earthly friends may fail or leave us, One day kind, the next deceive us; But this friend will never leave us, O how he loves!

Verse 2

‘Tis eternal life to know him, O how he loves! Think, O 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!

Verse 3

We have found a friend in Jesus, O how he loves! ‘Tis his great delight to bless us, O how he loves! How our hearts delight to hear him, Bid us dwell in safety near him; Why should we distrust or fear him? O how he loves!

Verse 4

Blessèd Jesus, wouldst thou know him? O how he loves! Give thyself this moment to him, 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!
