Representative Text

1 I love my precious Lord today,
For all His gifts to me;
For blessings showered on my way,
That thrill my heart to see.

Refrain:
But I love Him most for Calvary,
For there He died to set me free;
His all He gave,
My soul to save,
I love Him most for Calvary.

2 I love Him for the stars that light,
The universe on high;
For all the endless glories bright,
He scattered ‘cross the sky. [Refrain]

3 I love Him for the world I’m in,
Its lakes and rolling seas;
For fellowship of friend and kin,
For birds and flow’rs and trees. [Refrain]
