I Have a Dear Savior, the Best of My Friends
}
I have a dear Savior, the best of my friends;
No other with Christ can compare;
Wherever the lot of my life may be cast,
To comfort and bless He is there.
Chorus Unspeakably precious is He,
Unspeakably precious to me,
In song and acclaim
I praise the dear name,
So full of love's sweetness to me;
In song and acclaim
I praise the dear name,
Unspeakably precious to me.
I sing of His grace and His goodness all day,
The favor and beauty I share;
For Jesus illumines with sunshine my way,
And makes me the child of His care.
His love is the light and the joy of my heart,
And brings me contentment and peace;
I never could live from my Jesus apart;
No, I am eternally His.
