ONE THERE IS ABOVE ALL OTHERS;

One there is above all others;
O how He loves!
His is love beyond a brother’s;
O 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;
O how He loves!

‘Tis eternal life to know Him;
O how He loves!
Think, O think how much we owe Him;
O how He loves!
With His precious blood He bought us,
In the wilderness He sought us,
To His fold He safely brought us;
O how He loves!

We have found a friend in Jesus;
O how He loves!
‘Tis His great delight to bless us;
O how He loves!
How our hearts delight to hear Him
Bid us dwell in safety near Him!
Why should we distrust or fear Him?
O how He loves!

Through His Name we are forgiven;
O how He loves!
Backward shall our foes be driven;
O 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;
O how He loves!
