11422. O How He Loves Me

1 I have a friend, a precious friend,
O how He loves me;
He says His love will never end,
O how He loves me.

Refrain:
O how He loves me,
O how He loves me;
I know not why, I only cry,
O how He loves me.

2 Why He should come, I cannot tell,
O how He loves me;
In my poor broken heart to dwell,
O how He loves me. [Refrain]

3 He died to save my soul from death,
O how He loves me;
I’ll praise Him while He gives me breath,
O how He loves me. [Refrain]

3 He walks with me along life’s road,
O how He loves me;
He carries every heavy load,
O how He loves me. [Refrain]

4 He has a home prepared for me,
O how He loves me;
With Him I’ll spend eternity,
O how He loves me. [Refrain]
