Hymnal: Laudes Domini #343 (1884) Meter: Irregular First Line: One is kind above all others Refrain First Line: Oh, how he loves! Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others;
Oh, how he loves!
His is love beyond a brother’s;
Oh, how he loves!
Earthly friends may fail and leave us,
This day soothe, the next day grieve us,
But this Friend will ne'er deceive us;
Oh, how he loves!
2 ‘Tis eternal life to know him;
Oh, how he loves!
Think, oh, think how much we owe him;
Oh, how he loves!
With his precious blood he bought us,
In the wilderness he sought us,
To his fold he safely brought us;
Oh, how he loves!
3 We have found a friend in Jesus;
Oh, how he loves!
‘Tis his great delight to bless us;
Oh, how he loves!
How our hearts delight to hear him
Bid us dwell in safety near him!
Why should we distrust or fear him?
Oh, how he loves!
4 All our sins shall be forgiven;
Oh, how he loves!
Backward shall our foes be driven;
Oh, how he loves!
Blessings rich he will provide us,
Naught but good shall e'er betide us,
Safe to glory he will guide us;
Oh, how he loves! Languages: English
A Friend from heaven
