Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: The Gospel Awakening #108 (1888) Refrain First Line: The half has never yet been told Lyrics: 1. I know I love Thee better, Lord,
Than any earthly joy,
For Thou hast given me the peace
Which nothing can destroy.
Chorus:
The half has never yet been told,
Of love so full and free;
The half has never yet been told,
The blood--it cleanseth me.
2. I know that Thou art nearer still
Than any earthly throng;
And sweeter is the tho't of Thee
Than any lovely song. [Chorus]
3. Thou has put gladness in my heart,
Then may I well be glad,
Without the secret of Thy love
I could not but be sad. [Chorus]
4. O Saviour, precious Saviour, mine,
What will Thy presence be,
If such a life of joy can crown
Our walk on earth with Thee. [Chorus]
