Carols of Hope ‎#208

208. Unspeakably Precious is He

1. I cling to my Saviour's dear hand all the way
That close to his side I may be;
For dearer he grows to my heart ev'ry day,
Unspeakably precious is he.

Chorus:
Unspeakably precious is he,
Unspeakably precious to me;
His life for my life he gave on the tree:
Unspeakably precious is he.

2. Oh, sweeter each hour are his whispers to me,
And brighter each moment his smile;
More love in his eyes ev'ry hour I can see,
For dearer he grows all the while. [Chorus]

3. I walk in the light of his glory divine,
And heed not the thorns that I meet;
The hand of the Crucified One is in mine,
He guideth my wandering feet. [Chorus]

4. Thro' sunshine and shadows, till death I will cling
To him who has suffered for me;
The wonderful love of my heavenly King
My song thro' the ages shall be. [Chorus]
