Loving me ere I knew Him,
Calling with voice so sweet,
Burdens of life I brought Him,
Knelt at His wounded feet;
Naught from that love can sever,
Wonderful, changeless, free,
Master, I'll serve Thee ever,
Never a Friend like Thee!

Sunlight of gladness giving,
Filling my heart with cheer,
E'er in His light I'm living,
Ever I know Him near;
Master, in Thee abiding,
Shadows of earth must flee,
Ever Thy children guiding,
Never a Light like Thee!

Giving me gifts immortal,
Life that endures for aye,
Op'ning the heav'nly portal,
Leading in royal way;
Crowning with joy excelling,
Heir of His grace I'll be,
Master, Thy praise I'm telling,
Never a King like Thee!

Sing of a Friend so loyal,
Sing of a Friend so true,
Giving His gifts so royal,
Blessings that aye are new.

King of the heav'nly glory,
Lowly of earth was He;
Master, we sing Thy story,
Never was One like Thee.
