130. The Love of the Saviour

1 The love of the Saviour is precious,
And in that sweet love I abide,
And pray that He never will leave me,
But keep me so close by His side;
‘Tis fairer than all of earth’s treasures,
‘Tis richer than silver or gold,
‘Tis dearer than all of earth’s pleasures,
Its wonders can ne’er be told.

Chorus:
O wonderful love of the Saviour,
More precious than silver or gold;
‘Tis fairer than earth’s fairest treasures!
Its glories can ne’er be told.

2 The love of the Saviour is tender,
He knows each temptation and need,
And leaning on Him in our weakness,
His love shall uphold us indeed;
Sweet joys He is freely bestowing,
So kindly and gentle His care,
Our hearts with His love overflowing,
Most gladly our blessings share. [Chorus]

3 The love of the Saviour is mighty,
It never shall lessen or fail,
In storm or in stress if we prove Him,
Thro’ love we shall always prevail;
His love, thro’ the ages enduring,
Remaineth forever the same;
He speaks to our spirits assuring
The pow’r of His matchless Name. [Chorus]
