So precious is Je­sus,
My Sav­ior, my king;
His praise all the day long
With rap­ture I sing.
To Him in my weak­ness
For strength I can cling,
For He is so pre­cious to me.

Refrain

For He is so pre­cious, so pre­cious to me;
For He is so pre­cious, so pre­cious to me.
’Tis heaven below, my Re­deem­er to know,
For He is so pre­cious to me.

He stood at my heart’s door
’Mid sun­shine and rain,
And pa­tient­ly wait­ed
An en­trance to gain.
What shame that so long He
Entreated in vain,
For He is so pre­cious to me.

Refrain

I stand on the mount­ain
Of bless­ing at last,
No cloud in the hea­vens
A sha­dow to cast,
His smile is up­on me;
The val­ley is past,
For He is so pre­cious to me.

Refrain

I praise Him be­cause He
Appointed a place
Where some day, through faith
In His won­der­ful grace,
I know I shall see Him,
Shall look on His face,
For He is so pre­cious to me.
