1. One there is above all others
Oh! how He loves!
His is love beyond a brothers,
Oh! 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
Oh! how He loves.
2. We have found a friend in Jesus
Oh! how He loves!
'Tis His great delight to bless us
Oh! how He loves!
How our hearts delight to hear Him,
Bid us dwell in safety near Him
Why should we distrust or fear Him?
Oh! how He loves!
3. Through His name we are forgiven
Oh! how He loves!
Backward shall our foes be driven
Oh! how He loves
Best of blessing He'll provide us
Nought but good shall e'er betide us
Safe to glory He will guide us,
Oh! how He loves!
