Author: Avis M. Christiansen Hymnal: Favorites Number 2 #25 (1946) First Line: Lost in the love of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Lost in the love of Jesus, How sweet in that love to abide, With the billows of grace sweeping o’er me From the flood-gates of glory so wide. Refrain: Lost in His love! Lost in His love! My soul with its sweetness o’erflows; To rapturous heights my spirit ascends; And heavenly light my pathway attends, When lost, when lost in His love. 2 Lost in the love of Jesus— I know of no haven so fair; Enveloped in heavenly sunshine, Communing with Jesus in prayer. [Refrain] 3 Lost in the love of Jesus, Yes, lost in the depths of His grace; The glitter of earth far behind me, While looking upon His dear face. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Lost in the love of Jesus]
