Representative Text

1 There’s One in whom my soul doth rest,
There’s One who always knows what’s best,
An ever present, welcome Guest,
My blessed Lord, I love Him.

Refrain:
I love Him! O, I love Him!
My blessed Lord, I love Him;
Like music in my ears, His name,
My blessed Lord, I love Him.

2 There’s One who giveth joy and peace,
There’s One whose love doth never cease,
He doth the captive soul release,
My blessed Lord, I love Him. [Refrain]

3 There’s One who ever standeth near,
There’s One who all my way doth cheer,
In danger’s hour He calms my fear,
My blessed Lord, I love Him. [Refrain]

4 There’s One whom I soon will dwell,
When time hath tolled life’s parting knell,
His praise in glory I shall swell,
My blessed Lord, I love Him. [Refrain]
