Ye who the love of a mo­ther have known,
There is a love sweet­er far you may own,
Love all suf­fi­cient for sin to atone;
Jesus is dear­er than all.

Refrain

Dearer than all, yes, dear­er than all,
He is my king, be­fore Him I fall;
No friend like Je­sus my soul can en­thrall,
Jesus is dear­er, far dear­er than all.

Jesus en­treats you in Him to con­fide,
Make Him your con­stant com­pan­ion and guide;
He can do more than the whole world be­side;
Jesus is dear­er than all.

Refrain

Heaven with all of its beau­ty so rare,
With my Re­deem­er can ne­ver com­pare;
He is the glo­ry trans­cen­dent up there;
Jesus is dear­er than all.
