Melodies of Salvation ‎#11

11. I Love the Lord

1 I love the Lord, for He hath heard
My voice of supplication,
And for the promise in His word
Of full and free salvation.

Chorus:
I love the Lord, I love the Lord,
With heart and soul I love Him;
His name to me is melody,
My Saviour—how I love Him!

2 I love Him, for He hath inclined
A gracious ear unto me,
And sent His Holy Spirit kind
from sinful paths to woo me. [Chorus]

3 And for the tender, loving care
He evermore hath given;
With Christ, His Son to be join heir
Of mansions fair in heaven. [Chorus]

4 And tho’ with all my ransomed pow’rs
I worship and adore Him,
How small now seems the all I bring
And humbly lay before Him. [Chorus]
