16364. I Love Jesus Best Of All

1 I love the friends so true to me,
The home-ties bind my heart;
As kind are they as friends can be;
From them I will not part.

Refrain:
But, I love Je­sus best of all,
Yes, I love Je­sus best of all;
I love the rest, but love Him best;
Oh, I love Je­sus best of all.

2 I love the church whose songs of praise
Exalt my bless­èd Lord;
I love the saints whose right­eous ways
Do hon­or to the Word. [Refrain]

3 I love the dear ones gone be­fore,
Who wait me just ab­ove;
I love the an­gels who ad­ore
The lov­ing King of love; [Refrain]
