16997. What a Blessing Is His Love

1. When the storms of life are rag­ing,
And the wind and waves pre­vail,
What a bless­ing is my Sav­ior’s love;
When my bur­dens seem too hea­vy,
And my strength and cour­age fail,
What a bless­ing is my Sav­ior’s love.

Refrain

What a bless­ing, what a bless­ing,
What a bless­ing is my Sav­ior’s love;
When the rag­ing wa­ters roll
O’er my faint­ing, tro­ubled soul,
What a bless­ing is my Sav­ior’s love.

2. When mis­for­tune ov­er­takes me,
And when health and strength de­part,
What a bless­ing is my Sav­ior’s love;
When the world with all its plea­sures
Brings no com­fort to my heart,
What a bless­ing is my Sav­ior’s love.

Refrain

3. When the tempt­er would al­lure me
From the straight and nar­row way,
What a bless­ing is my Sav­ior’s love;
When my worn and wea­ry spirit
Longs to see the light of day,
What a bless­ing is my Sav­ior’s love.

Refrain
