One has loved me, would you know
Who He was that loved me so?
Would you learn His precious name,
Who He is, and whence He came?
I can tell you. Will you hear
Of the One to me so dear?
Jesus! this His blessed name-
Son of God! from heaven He came.
For my gain, He suffered loss,
Died upon the shameful cross;
Conqueror o’er the grave He rose,
Triumphed over all my foes.
Now at God’s right hand He lives;
Peace and comfort thence He gives;
Listens to my faintest call,
Holds and keeps me lest I fall.
He is mine and I am His;
What a blessed portion this!
Soon I shall His glory see,
Dwell with Him who died for me.
