I know I love Thee better, Lord,
Than any earthly joy;
For Thou hast given me the peace
Which nothing can destroy.
The half has never yet been told,
Of love so full and free!
The half has never yet been told,
The blood — it cleanseth me!
I know that Thou art nearer still
Than any earthly throng;
And sweeter is the thought of Thee
Than any lovely song.
The half has never yet been told,
Of love so full and free!
The half has never yet been told,
The blood — it cleanseth me!
Thou hast put gladness in my heart;
Then may I well be glad!
Without the secret of Thy love,
I could not but be sad.
The half has never yet been told,
Of love so full and free!
The half has never yet been told,
The blood — it cleanseth me!
O Saviour, precious Saviour, mine!
What will Thy presence be,
If such a life of joy can crown
Our walk on earth with Thee!
The half has never yet been told,
Of love so full and free!
The half has never yet been told,
The blood — it cleanseth me!
