1 There is One whose love unmeasured
Reached down to me one day,
And O, that love, so treasured,
Washed all my sins away.

Refrain:
For He did so much for me,
Yes, He did so much for me;
I will praise His name forever,
For He did so much for me.

2 There is One who guides me ever
In paths I do not know;
His love—it fails me never,
With Him I gladly go. [Refrain]

3 Now my heart is gladly singing,
While on my upward way,
Its praise to Him is bringing
Anew each happy day. [Refrain]

William C. Poole was born and raised on a farm in Maryland. His parents belonged to the Methodist church. He graduated from Washington College and became a Methodist minister in Wilmington, Delaware area. He was pastor of McCabe Memorial, Richardson Park and other churches. In 1913 he was superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Delaware. He wrote about five hundred hymns. The writing was done as recreation and a diversion from his pastoral work. His goal in writing as well as in being a minister was to help people.
