The New Praiseworthy ‎#238

238. O How I Love Him

1 At Calv'ry's cross I met a Friend,
Who touched my broken heart,
My guilty soul revived, made whole,
Thro' grace set me apart.

Chorus:
O how I love Him,
The Man of Galilee!
O how I love Him,
Who died on Calvary!
There is no other
Such a Friend or Brother;
O how I love Him,
Because He died for me!

2 When I am helpless and alone,
'Tis then I seek this Guide;
So true and kind I always find
Him waiting at my side. [Chorus]

3 And when Light of Heaven fills
My sol with fairest day,
I know that He is with me still,
And will be all the way. [Chorus]
