The Finest of the Wheat No. 3 ‎#43

43. I Love Him Far Better

1 There’s a dear place remembrance brings back to me,
‘Tis where I found pardon, ‘tis heaven to me;
There Jesus spoke peace to my poor, weary soul,
He forgave all my sins, and my heart he made whole.

Refrain:
I love him far better than in days of yore,
I’ll serve him more truly than ever before;
I’ll do as he bids me, whatever the cost;
I’ll be a true soldier, I’ll die at my post.

2 And oft when I’m tempted to turn from the track,
When I think of my Savior, my mind wanders back
To the time when he suffered on Calvary’s tree,
And I hear a voice saying: “I suffered for thee!” [Refrain]

3 It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart,
He’ll ever be with us, if we do our part;
There is naught in this world can true pleasure afford,
But there’s peace and contentment in serving the Lord. [Refrain]

4 There is fullness of blessing for all who believe,
And his name now confessing, his Spirit receive,
For he sanctifies wholly, and saves from all sin,
All who consecrate fully, and by faith enter in. [Refrain]
