Unto you therefore which believe, He is precious.
1 Peter 2:7
Words: Charles H. Gabriel, 1878.
Music: James McGranahan (🔊 pdf nwc).
I cannot tell how precious
The Savior is to me,
Since I have Him accepted,
And He hath made me free;
I cannot tell His goodness,
Enough to satisfy;
And if you’ll only take Him,
You’ll see the reason why.
Refrain
I cannot tell how precious
The Savior is to me;
I only can entreat you
To come, and taste and see.
I cannot do for Jesus
As much as I should like;
But I will e’er endeavor
To work with all my might;
For, was not my dear Savior
For sinners crucified?
For me, then surely, Jesus
Hung on the cross and died.
Refrain
Whene’er I think of Jesus,
I cannot but rejoice;
To me He’s ever precious,
For Him I raise my voice:
I know He has in glory
A home prepared for me,
Where I shall live forever
So happy, and so free.
Refrain
