When the dark shadows gather on life’s rugged way,
There is someone to help you and cheer you alway;
He will fill you with joy if His word you obey:
Nobody loves you like Jesus.
When the burdens you carry are heavy to bear,
And your heart almost breaks with its griefs and despair,
Look to Him who is waiting your sorrows to share:
Nobody loves you like Jesus.
He entreats you to love Him and in Him confide,
Let Him be your Companion, Friend and your Guide,
For His love can do more than all others beside:
Nobody loves you like Jesus.
He has promised to keep you, this wonderful Friend,
Tho’ temptations and dangers your pathway attend;
Let Him lead all the way till life’s journey shall end:
Nobody loves you like Jesus.
Chorus
Nobody loves you like Jesus,
Nobody loves you like Him;
When you falter and fail,
Still His love doth prevail:
Nobody loves you like Jesus.
Alfred Barratt
The Lord our God is King;
His rule, his name is love:
Let earth with hallelujahs ring,
And heav’n respond above!
His counsels he may keep
Hidden from mortal sight;
His ends may be a soundless deep;
But all he wills is right.
Never shall wrong prevail,
Whate’er his foes may do:
His word is given, and shall not fail;
For all he saith is true.
Dread storms may mark his path;
Darkness may o’er it brood;
The round world shake as with his wrath;
But all he doth is good.
Then sing, the Lord is King;
Sing, for his name is Love;
Let earth with hallelujahs ring,
And heaven respond above!
G. F. Root
