160. Oh, Precious Love of Jesus

1 Oh, precious love of Jesus;
Oh, matchless love divine;
That stoops in wondrous mercy
To reach a soul like mine
When none could pity;
When none could save
From deepest sin, he took me
And sweetest peace he gave,
From deepest sin, he took me
And sweetest peace he gave.

2 Oh, precious love of Jesus
I’m happy all the day;
And never does he leave me
One step along the way.
The path is rugged;
For weary feet,
I lean upon the Savior
My safe, and sure retreat,
I lean upon the Savior
My safe, and sure retreat.

3 The precious love of Jesus
Shall ever be my song;
Thro’out the countless ages
‘Twill never be too long.
When we reach heaven,
That home above,
We then shall know the wonders
Of his redeeming love,
We then shall know the wonders
Of his redeeming love.
