16301. Blessed Jesus

1 I love Thee bet­ter than earth­ly store,
Blessèd Je­sus, my Sav­ior;
And day by day may I love Thee more,
Blessed Je­sus, my Sav­ior.

Refrain:
Blessed Jesus, I love Him more,
Yes, than all of my earth­ly store,
All my sins on the cross He bore,
Blessed Jesus, my Sav­ior.

2 I love Thee more than earth­ly friend,
Blessèd Je­sus, my Sav­ior;
For peace and bless­ing which Thou dost send,
Blessed Jesus, my Savior. [Refrain]

3 I love Thee bet­ter than all the world,
Blessed Je­sus, my Sav­ior;
Thy love’s a ban­ner of light un­furled,
Blessed Je­sus, my Sav­ior. [Refrain]
