Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.773
First Line: OH, the precious love of Jesus,
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 !
