1. Jesus is my loving Savior,
He is so precious to me;
O, how I love and adore Him
for all His mercies so free;
When I was lost on the mountains
barren and dark and cold,
He sought the sheep that was straying,
He bro’t me back to the fold.
Chorus:
Jesus, Jesus, (Jesus is dearer than all to me,)
dearer than all to me, (yes, dearer to me,)
Jesus, Jesus, (Jesus is dearer than all to me,)
Thine, only Thine I’ll be; (Thine would I be)
Where Thou dost lead I will follow,
Where’er the path may be;
Then when life’s journey is ended
Thy face in glory I’ll see.
2. Jesus the sweet rose of Sharon,
Jesus the lily so fair;
Jesus my rock and salvation,
Jesus the bright morning star;
He is my portion forever,
my all in all is He!
With Him I cannot be lonely,
He fully satisfies me.
3. Jesus was born in a manger,
wept in the garden alone;
Poured out His life’s blood on Calv’ry,
died for our sin to atone;
Rose from the grave more than conq’ror,
went to His home on high;
Soon He is coming in glory,
coming in clouds of the sky.
