142. Who Can Cheer the Heart like Jesus

1. Who can cheer the heart like Jesus,

   By His presence all divine?

   True and tender, pure and precious,

   O how blest to call Him mine!

   All that thrills my soul is Jesus,

   He is more than life to me;

   And the fairest of ten thousand,

   In my blessed Lord I see.

2. Love of Christ, so freely given,

   Grace of God beyond degree,

   Mercy higher than the heaven,

   Deeper than the deepest sea.

3. What a wonderful redemption!

   Never can a mortal know

   How my sin, though red like crimson,

   Can be whiter than the snow.

4. By the crystal flowing river,

   With the ransomed I will sing,

   And forever and forever,

   Praise and glorify the King.
