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!
