O How I Love Jesus

1 Peter 1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

This is the secret of the Christian life. 


When we love Jesus, everything else falls into place.

                                                                                          

O How I Love Jesus

________________________


There is a Name I love to hear, —  I love to sing its worth;  —  It sounds like music in my ear,   —   The sweetest Name on earth.


CHORUS:

Oh, how I love Jesus,   —   Oh, how I love Jesus,   —   Oh, how I love Jesus,   —   Because He first loved me!


It tells me of a Savior’s love, — Who died to set me free; — It tells me of His precious blood, — The sinner’s perfect plea.


It tells me what my Father hath  —  In store for every day,  —  And tho’ I tread a darksome path,  —  Yields sunshine all the way.


It tells of One whose loving heart — Can feel my deepest woe; — Who in each sorrow bears a part — That none can bear below. 


Frederick Whitfield  1855
