57. It Is Wonderful How He Loves

1 Jesus is my joy today,
It is wonderful how he loves, wonderful how he loves!
Fills with peace and joy my way,
It is wonderful how he loves me alway!

Refrain:
Wonderful how he loves me every day! everyday!
Pardons, helps and guides my way,
It is wonderful how he loves me alway!

2 ‘Gainst all foes he guards me still,
It is wonderful how he loves, wonderful how he loves!
Naught can harm or do me ill,
It is wonderful how he loves me alway! [Refrain]

3 Safe he guides me lest I fall,
It is wonderful how he loves, wonderful how he loves!
Hears in trouble when I call,
It is wonderful how he loves me alway! [Refrain]

4 Who the story’s height can reach,
It is wonderful how he loves, wonderful how he loves!
His love far exceedeth speech,
It is wonderful how he loves me alway! [Refrain]
