Author: T. H. Hymnal: IGS21948 #26 (1948) First Line: The love of my soul has to Jesus been giv'n Refrain First Line: He's dearer each day, yes, dearer each day Lyrics: 1 The love of my soul has to Jesus been giv’n;
I’m happy on life’s upward way.
He granteth me daily a foretaste of heav’n,
And dearer He grows each day.
Chorus:
He’s dearer each day, yes, dearer each day;
His light shall illumine my way.
While looking above I am lost in His love,
And Jesus grows dearer each day.
2 NO longer I mourn o’er the sins of the past,
No longer in darkness I stray;
For since ev’ry burden on Jesus I cast,
His love is my trust and stay. [Chorus]
3 Each moment I cling to His almighty hand,
While learning to trust and obey.
My sorrows all flee at the Master’s command;
I sing on my homeward way. [Chorus]
4 The Saviour will pardon the penitent’s sin;
His mercy invites thee today.
Oh, come to the Fountain and wash ev’ry stain,
For why dost thou still delay? [Chorus]
