Miss M. Nunn ~ 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4.
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!
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!
