One is kind above all others

1. One is kind above all others, 
o how He loves! 
His is love beyond a brother’s; 
o how He loves! 
Earthly friends may fall and leave thee, 
one day kind, the next day grieve thee; 
but this friend will ne’er deceive thee; 
o how He loves! 

2. ’Tis eternal life to know Him, 
o how He loves! 
Think, oh think, how much we owe Him, 
o how He loves! 
With His precious blood He bought us, 
in the wilderness He sought us 
to His fold He safely brought us, 
o how He loves! 

3. Blessèd Jesus! wouldst thou know Him? 
O how He loves! 
Give thine heart, thine all unto Him; 
o how He loves! 
Is it sin that pains or grieves thee, 
unbelief or trials seize thee? 
Jesus can from all release thee; 
o how He loves! 

4. Love this friend: He longs to save thee; 
o how He loves! 
All through life He will not leave thee; 
o how He loves! 
Think no more of friendships hollow; 
take His easy yoke and follow; 
Jesus carries all thy sorrow; 
o how He loves! 

5. All thy sins shall be forgiven; 
o how He loves! 
Backward shall thy foes be driven; 
o how He loves! 
Best of blessings He’ll provide thee; 
naught but good shall e’er betide thee; 
safe to glory He will guide thee; 
o how He loves!
