Representative Text

1 There never was any one like him,
The love of a soul to command;
Like Jesus, whose sympathy, boundless,
Can fully our hearts understand.

Refrain:
There never was any one like him,
Never, never, never,
There never was any one like him,
Like Jesus my Lord.

2 No other so cares for his dear ones,
No matter how feeble, how small;
There never was any one like him,
So patient and tender to all. [Refrain]

3 There’s no one with friendship so loyal,
Or friendship that reaches so far
As Jesus, whose love in all trial
Is love no estrangement can mar. [Refrain]

4 There never was any one like him!
I can not refuse him my love;
And I in his footsteps must follow
Until I may see him above. [Refrain]
