So precious is Jesus

I never could travel life's mazes alone

Representative Text

1 I never could travel life's mazes alone,
Unguided, unguarded, unknown;
But Jesus has told me
His arms will enfold me,
And He is so precious to me.

Chorus:
So precious is Jesus to me, to me,
So precious is Jesus to me;
Tho' the pathway be hard,
He will comfort and guard,
And He is so precious to me.

2 In times of distress, when I'm tried as by fire,
His presence is all I desire:
He speaks, and my sadness
Is turned into gladness,
For He is so precious to me. [Chorus]

3 Contented I'll work out His purpose in me,
Nor murmur, whatever it be;
His own life He gave me
To ransom and save me,
And He is so precious to me. [Chorus]

4 Sometime I shall see Him with vision made clear;
His voice--blessed tho't--I shall hear!
Thro' ages of glory
I'll sing the sweet story,
For He is so precious to me. [Chorus]
