1 The love that sought me in the light,
The love that found me in my plight
And led me back to peace and light,
That is the love for me.

Refrain:
That is the love for me,
Every my theme ‘twill be;
Praise His dear name,
‘Tis e’er the same,
That is the love for me

2 The love the lightens all my cares,
And leads me past all hidden snares,
The love that ev’ry trial shares,
That is the love for me. [Refrain]

3 The love that lifted me from sin,
And made me pure and sweet within,
The love that helps my soul to win,
That is the love for me. [Refrain]

4 The love that keeps away all gloom,
And will not let me doubt or roam,
The precious love that guides me home,
That is the love for me. [Refrain]
