The Voice of Praise ‎#47

47. I Know That I Have Jesus

1 Tho' loved ones vanish from my side,
And grief and pain with me abide,
I still am fully satisfied--
I know that I have Jesus.

Chorus:
Jesus, Jesus,
Gentle, loving Jesus!
For life and for eternity,
I know that I have Jesus.

2 Tho' heavy be my load of care,
And trials meet me ev'rywhere,
With patience I my cross will bear,--
I know that I have Jesus. [Chorus]

3 When Satan's arrows round me fly,
And sin, a torrent, rushes by,
A never failing friend is nigh,--
I know that I have Jesus. [Chorus]

4 And when the angel shall appear,
To call me thro' the valley drear,
I shall not dread, nor doubt, nor fear,--
I know that I have Jesus. [Chorus]
