Chorus: O how I love Jesus! And O how I love Jesus! O how I love Jesus, Because He first loved me! Well, it tells me of a Savior's love, Who died to set me free! It tells me of His precious blood, The sinner's perfect plea.

Have you ever seen Him, Or shared of His favor? O sweet Wonder! O sweet Wonder!

6 page 3 Jesus the Son of God; How I adore Thee! O how I love Thee! Jesus the Son of God Will come for His jewels, Most precious and holy, God gave Him, a ransom, Our souls to recover; His blood made us worthy His Spirit to hover; O who would reject Him, Despise or forsake Him, Jesus the Son of God? O who ever sought Him, And He would not take Him? If you will accept Him And trust and believe Him, Jesus the Son of God, Your soul will exalt Him, And never will leave Him; Then some day from heaven, On clouds of bright glory, TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY Take time to be holy, Speak oft with thy Lord; Abide in Him always, And feed on His word. Make friends of God s children; help those who are weak; Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek. Take time to be holy, The world rushes on; Spend much time in secret with Jesus alone; By liking to Jesus, Like Him thou shalt be; Thy friends in thy conduct His likened shall see. Take time to be holy, Let him be thy guide, And run not before Him whatever betide; In joy or in sorrow, Still follow thy Lord, And, liking to Jesus, Still trust in His Word. Take to be holy, Be calm in thy soul; Each thought and each motive beneath His control; Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love, Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.
