Methodist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#333b

333b. One there is above all others

1 One there is above all others
O how He loves!
His is love beyond a brother's
O how He loves!
Earthly friends may fail or leave us,
One day soothe, the next day grieve us:
But this Friend will ne'er deceive us
O how He loves!

2 'Tis eternal life to know Him
O how He loves!
Think, O think how much we owe Him
O how He loves!
With His precious blood He bought us,
In the wilderness He sought us,
To His fold He safely brought us
O how He loves!

3 Through His name we are forgiven
O how He loves!
Backward shall our foes be driven
O how He loves!
Best of blessings He'll provide us,
Nought but good shall e'er betide us!
Safe to glory He will guide us
O how He loves!
