One there is above all others—
O how He loves!
His is the 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!
Joy and peace it is 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 loved ones 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;
Naught but good shall e'er betide us—
Safe to glory He will guide us—
O how He loves!
