OH, the precious love of Jesus, How it cheers us on our way ! Lightening every heavy burden, Brightening every weary day ! How it sweetens every sorrow, Driving all our fears away ! How it shines out in the darkness, Making sunshine all the way !
2. Yes, the precious love of Jesus Gives us smiles in place of tears ! Gives us courage in our troubles, Helps us conquer all our fears ! It will make our life worth living, It will help us when we die, Bear us safely o'er the river, To our home beyond the sky.
3. I must have the love of Jesus If I do His service here ; I must feel His arm beneath me, I must know His presence near : Then He'll bless me in my labour, Then He'll lead me in the right, Help me win lost souls for heaven Out of darkness into light.
4. Oh, I have the love of Jesus ! Praise His name, I know Him well ! And I love to sing His praises---- Yes, I joy His love to tell ! Come and join me in His praises, Come and know His love to you, Come and help me in the singing Of the song that's ever new !
