I know I love Thee better, Lord, Than any earthly joy ; For Thou hast given me the peace Which nothing can destroy.
The half has never yet been told, . . . Of love so full and free ! The half has never yet been told, . . . The blood----it cleanseth me ! . . .
2. I know that Thou art nearer still Than any earthly throng ; And sweeter is the thought of Thee Than any lovely song.
3. Thou hast put gladness in my heart ; Then may I well be glad ! Without the secret of Thy love, I could not but be sad.
4. O Saviour, precious Saviour, mine ! What will Thy presence be, If such a life of joy can crown Our walk on earth with Thee !
