45. Altogether Lovely

1 Since the wondrous grace of my loving Lord
Has redeemed and set me free,
All my heart is filled and my soul is thrilled,
For I know He loves me so.

Refrain:
He is altogether lovely,
More than all the world to me;
Fairer than the Rose of Sharon
Is Jesus my Savior to me.

2 He has made the desert a garden fair,
Where the fragrant flowers glow;
Ev’ry cross I bear He will gladly share,
For I know He loves me so. [Refrain]

3 He has come to dwell in my inmost self,
He’s the Bridegroom of my heart;
What communion sweet and what rest complete,
Rest that never shall depart. [Refrain]

4 Now the night is gone and the rosy dawn
Of His love-light shines on me;
Earth has lost its charm, in His mighty arm
Satisfied my soul shall be. [Refrain]
