Lyrics

Let us sing of Je­sus’ love, so sweet
Unto all His ser­vants here;
How it cheers the soul in times of need;
And al­lays our ev­ery fear.

Refrain

Let us sing of Je­sus’ love
Precious love, to us so dear;
How it cheers the soul in times of need,
And allays our ev­ery fear.

O, how pre­cious is His love, in­deed,
’Tis a balm for ev­ery pain;
When the soul is bur­dened down with grief,
It will bid it rise again.

Refrain

Wondrous love, ’tis freel­y giv’n to us,
That our tri­als we may bear,
O that love! when done with earth­ly toil,
In a bet­ter land we’ll share.
