Songs of Matchless Love ‎#99

99. Unspeakably Precious is He

1 I have a dear Savior, the best of my friends;
No other with Christ can compare
Wherever the lot of my life may be cast,
To comfort and bless he is there.

Refrain:
Unspeakably precious is he,
Unspeakable precious to me,
In song and acclaim I praise the dear name
So full of love’s sweetness to me;
In song and acclaim I praise the dear name
Unspeakably precious to me.

2 I sing of his grace and his goodness all day,
The favor and beauty I share;
For Jesus illumines with sunshine my way,
And makes me the child of his care. [Refrain]

3 His love is the light and the joy of my heart,
And brings me contentment and peace;
I never could live from my Jesus apart;
No, I am eternally his. [Refrain]
