LyicsO the precious love of Je-sus,
Grow-ing sweet-er day by day.
Tun-ing all my heart so joy-ous
To a heavenly mel-o-dy.
CHO.-Christ is precious,
Christ is precious,
In life's jour-ney he will lead thee;
Christ is precious,
Christ is precious,
He will lead thee all the way.
But we can not know the fullness
Of the Saviour's wondrous love,
Till we see and know his glory,
In the heavenly home above.-CHO.
Come and taste the love of Jesus,
At his feet thy burdens lay;
Trust him with thy grief and sorrow,
Bear this joyful song away.-CHO.
