Christ My Song - 604
There is no love like the love of Jesus
(William Edensor Littlewood/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
There is no love like the love of Jesus.
1. There is no love like the love of Jesus,
never to fade or fall,
till into the fold
of the peace of God
he has gathered us all. (PDF - Midi)
2. There is no heart like the heart of Jesus,
filled with a tender lore:
not a throb nor throe
our hearts can know
but he suffered before.
3. There is no eye like the eye of Jesus,
piercing far away:
never out of the sight
of its tender light
can the wanderer stray!
4. There is no voice like the voice of Jesus:
ah! how sweet its chime,
like the musical ring
of some rushing spring
in the summer-time!
5. O might we listen that voice of Jesus!
O might we never roam,
till our souls should rest,
in peace on his breast,
in the heavenly home!
William Edensor Littlewood, in: Schaff, Philip: Christ in Song, 1869, 439-440.
