CPWI Hymnal ‎#492

492. Who can cheer the heart like Jesus

1 Who can cheer the heart like Jesus,
by his presence all divine?
True and tender, pure and precious,
O how blest to call him mine!

Refrain:
All that thrills my soul is Jesus;
his is more than life to me.
And the fairest of ten thousand
in my blessèd Lord I see.

2 Love of Christ so freely given,
grace of God beyond degree,
mercy higher than the heaven,
deeper than the deepest sea! [Refrain]

3 What a wonderful redemption:
never can a mortal know
how my sin, though red like crimson,
can be whiter than the snow. [Refrain]

4 Every need his hand supplying,
every good in him I see;
on his strength divine relying,
he is All in All to me. [Refrain]

5 By the crystal, flowing river,
with the ransomed I will sing.
And forever and forever
praise and glorify the King. [Refrain]
