One there is above all other
Oh, how He loves
His is love beyond a brother’s
Oh, how He loves
Earthly friends may fail or leave us
One day soothe, the next day grieve us
But this friend will ne’er deceive us
Oh, how He loves
2.
’Tis eternal life to know Him
Oh, how He loves
Think O think how much we owe Him
Oh, how He loves
With His precious blood He brought us
In the wilderness He sought us
To His fold He safely brought us
Oh, how He loves
3.
We have found a friend in Jesus
Oh, how He loves
’Tis His great delight to bless us
Oh, how He loves!
How our hearts delight to hear Him
Bid us dwell in safety near Him
Why should we distrust or fear Him
Oh, how He loves!
4.
Through His name we are forgiven
Oh, how He loves!
Backward shall our foes be driven
Oh, how He loves!
Best of blessings He’ll provide us
Nought but good shall e’er betide us
Safe to glory He will guide us
Oh, how He loves me!
Amen
