All That Thrills My Soul

Studio

1Who can cheer the heart like Jesus, By His presence all divine? True and tender, pure and precious, Oh, how blest to call Him mine!

RefrainAll 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.

2Love of Christ so freely given, Grace of God beyond degree, Mercy higher than the heaven, Deeper than the deepest sea.

3Every need His hand supplying, Every good in Him I see, On His strength divine relying, He is All in All to me.

4By the crystal flowing river, With the ransomed I will sing, And forever and forever Praise and glorify the King.
