Victory Songs ‎#65

65. I Know I Love Thee Better, Lord.

1 I know I love Thee better, Lord,
Than any earthly joy;
For Thou hast given me the peace
Which nothing can destroy.

Chorus:
The half has never yet been told,
Of love so full and free!
The half has never yet been told,
The blood--it cleanseth me!

2 I know that Thou art nearer still
Than any earthly throng;
And sweeter is the tho't of Thee
Than any lovely song. [Chorus]

3 Thou hast put gladness in my heart;
Then may I well be glad!
Without the secret of Thy love
I could not but be sad. [Chorus]

4 O Savior, precious Savior mine!
What will Thy presence be,
If such a life of joy can crown
Our walk on earth with Thee? [Chorus]
