| Tune: | CARITAS |
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 We have found a friend in Jesus,
O how He loves!
'Tis His great delight to bless us,
O how He loves!
How our hearts delight to hear Him--
Bid us dwell in safety near Him:
Why should we distrust or fear Him?
O how He loves!
4 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!
AMEN.
