Sheet music
- 1I know I love Thee better, Lord,Than any earthly joy;For Thou hast given me the peaceWhich nothing can destroy.The half has never yet been told,(yet been told,)Of love so full and free!The half has never yet been told,(yet been told,)The blood- it cleanseth me.
- 2I know that Thou art nearer stillThan any earthly throng;And sweeter is the tho’t of TheeThan any lovely song.The half has never yet been told,(yet been told,)Of love so full and free!The half has never yet been told,(yet been told,)The blood- it cleanseth me.
- 3O Savior, precious Savior mine!What will Thy presence be,If such a life of joy can crownOur walk on earth with Thee?The half has never yet been told,(yet been told,)Of love so full and free!The half has never yet been told,(yet been told,)The blood- it cleanseth me.
