“Who loves Jesus? None but he
Who knows the Saviour’s love to him;
All others hear of Him, but see
Him through a cloud that’s cold and dim.
“Who loves Jesus? None beside
The Spirit-taught, the blood-bought few
Whom He has pleased to make His bride,
And to whose heart He tells it too.
“Who loves Jesus? He who feels
The fullness, sweetness of His grace;
For whom nor sin nor dread conceals
The brightness of His loving face.
“Who loves Jesus? He to whom
The Spirit speaks in truth and love,
And tells him of a Friend to come
And take him to His throne above.
“Who loves Jesus? He who knows
That Jesus is the changeless Friend,
From whom his life eternal flows,
In whom his joys shall never end.
“Who loves Jesus? He alone
Who, drawn from sin’s profound abyss,
Can say in faith’s exulting tone,
‘Jesus is mine, and I am His.’”
