1 One there is above all others,
His is love beyond a brother's,
Earthly friends may fail or leave us,
One day soothe, the next day grieve us;
2 'Tis eternal life to know Him,
Think, oh, think how much we owe Him,
With His precious blood He bought us,
In the wilderness He sought us,
3 Blessed Jesus! Would you know Him?
Give yourselves entirely to Him,
Think no longer of the morrow,
From the past new courage borrow,
4 All your sins shall be forgiven,
Backward shall your foes be driven,
Best of blessings He'll provide you,
Nought but good shall e'er betide you,
