One is kind above all others,
O how He loves!
His is love beyond a brother’s;
O how He loves!
Earthly friends may fall and leave thee,
One day kind, the next day grieve thee;
But this Friend will ne’er deceive thee;
O how He loves!
Blessèd Jesus! wouldst thou know Him?
O how He loves!
Give thine heart, thine all unto Him;
O how He loves!
Is it sin that pains or grieves thee,
Unbelief or trials seize thee?
Jesus can from all release thee;
O how He loves!
Love this Friend: He longs to save thee;
O how He loves!
All through life He will not leave thee;
O how He loves!
Think no more of friendships hollow;
Take His easy yoke and follow;
Jesus carries all thy sorrow;
O how He loves!
All thy sins shall be forgiven;
O how He loves!
Backward shall thy foes be driven;
O how He loves!
Best of blessings He’ll provide thee;
Naught but good shall e’er betide thee;
Safe to glory He will guide thee;
O how He loves!
---Alternative verses---
One is kind above all others,
O how he loves!
His is love beyond a brother's;
O how he loves!
Earthly friends may fall and leave thee,
one day kind, the next day grieve thee;
but this Friend will ne'er deceive thee;
O how he loves!
'Tis eternal life 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 wilderness he sought us,
to his fold he 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 thy foes be driven;
O how he loves!
Best of blessings he'll provide us,
nought but good shall e'er betide us,
safe to glory he will guide us,
O how he loves!
