Author: Rev. E. H. Stokes, D. D. Hymnal: Melodious Sonnets #1 (1885) First Line: Jesus I love, for his heart is good Lyrics: 1 Jesus I love, for his heart is good,
He has loved me o’er and o’er;
He sought me when wand’ring, I’m saved by his blood,
And I love him more and more.
Refrain:
Jesus is good to me,
Jesus is good to me;
So good! so good!
Jesus is good to my soul.
2 He calls, I rise, he maketh me whole,—
How fond his tender embrace!
He cleanses, keeps, and blesses my soul,—
My day the smile of his face. [Refrain]
3 I want to love him with all my heart,
Tho’ all its powers are small;
I will not keep from him any part,
For He is worthy of all. [Refrain]
4 He’s good to me in my sorrow’s night,
He’s good in the tempest’s roll;
He bringeth from darkness into light,—
With joy he filleth my soul. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Jesus I love, for his heart is good]
