Joyful Songs ‎#33

33. I Know I Love Jesus

1 In trouble and sorrow, to Jesus I'll flee,
For I know that my Savior will welcome me;
If I will but trust him and on him believe,
My burdens he'll bear and my sorrows relieve.

Chorus:
I know I love Jesus,
I'm so happy and free,
And I know when I love him he freely loves me;
My heart then I'll open, the new song begin,
For it makes me so happy when Jesus comes in.

2 O sinner, now listen--his voice you may hear,
So anxiously pleading close, close to your ear;
O do not reject him, nor bid him depart,
But give him, now give him your poor, sinful heart. [Chorus]

3 I know that the Savior is passing this way,
In mercy now lingers to save you to-day!
All heaven is waiting in triumph to sing,
The song of redemption; dear sinner, come in. [Chorus]

4 From Calvary is flowing a deep crimson stream;
Come wash ye within it, 'twill make you all clean;
Though your sins be like scarlet or crimson you know
He has said he will wash you as white as the snow. [Chorus]
