128. It's Just Like His Great Love

1 A friend I have call'd Jesus
Whose love is strong and true,
And never fails howe'er 'tis tried,
No matter what I do;
I've sinn'd against this love of His,
But when I knelt to pray
Confessing all my guilt to Him,
The sin-clouds roll'd away.

Chorus:
I'ts just like Jesus to roll the clouds away,
I'ts just like Jesus to keep me day by day,
It's just like Jesus all along the way,
It's just like His great love.

2 Sometimes the clouds of trouble
Bedim the sky above,
I cannot see my Savior's face,
I doubt His wondrous love;
But He, from heaven's mercy-seat
Beholding my despair,
In pity burst the clouds between,
And shows me He is there. [Chorus]

3 When sorrow's clouds o'ertake me,
And break upon my head,
When life seem worse than useless,
And I were better dead;
I take my grief to Jesus then,
Nor do I go in vain,
For heav'nly hope He gives that cheers,
Like sunshine after rain. [Chorus]

4 O I could sing forever
Of Jesus' love divine,
Of all His care and tenderness
For this poor life of mine;
His love is in and over all
And wind and waves obey,
When Jesus whispers "Peace be still"
And rolls the clouds away. [Chorus]
