Representative Text

1 I know I love my Saviour now,
As once I knew I love him not:
His hand of love has sealed my vow,
And fixed my new and blissful lot.

Chorus:
What can I do but hope and love,
Resting upon his faithful word?
Oh, how I love him,
Oh, how I love him,
Oh, how I love my precious Lord!

2 My faith has found a resting-place
Whereon my weary soul can lie;
And peace and joy and boundless grace
Enfold me like a Summer sky. [Chorus]

3 The storms may come, the sunshine go,
My friend will still be true and strong;
His hand will wipe the tears that flow,
And bear my trembling soul along. [Chorus]

4 I know I love him, feel him mine;
He rules my soul with gentle sway,
He guides me still in light divine,
And bids me wait his crowning day. [Chorus]
