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 sooth, 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 safely 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!
