We Love Him

Christians are often found to be praising their savior. Many of our hymns are written about our love for Him. Below are a couple of my favorites and the verses that speak so very loudly of the love of Christ.

We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)

For God so loved the world,

that he gave his only begotten Son,

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,

but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

Oh, How I Love Jesus

Text: Frederick Whitfield

Music: American Melody

There is a Name I love to hear,

I love to sing its worth;

It sounds like music in my ear,

The sweetest Name on earth.

Refrain:

Oh, how I love Jesus,

Oh, how I love Jesus,

Oh, how I love Jesus,

Because He first loved me!

My Jesus, I Love Thee

Text: William R. Featherstone

Music: Adoniram J. Gordon

My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine;

for thee all the follies of sin I resign.

My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou;

if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

I love thee because thou hast first loved me,

and purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree;

I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow;

if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

In mansions of glory and endless delight;

I'll ever adore thee in heaven so bright;

I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow;

if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself,

and God, even our Father,

which hath loved us,

and hath given us everlasting consolation

and good hope through grace, (2 Thessalonians 2:16)
