There is no heart like the heart of Jesus,
  Filled with a tender love;
No throb nor throe that our hearts can know;
  But He feels it above.

No throb nor throe that our hearts can know;
  But He feels it above.

There is no eye like the eye of Jesus,
  Piercing so far away;
Ne’er out of the sight of its tender light
  Can the wanderer stray.
There is no eye like the eye of Jesus,

Ne’er out of the sight of its tender light
  Can the wanderer stray.

There is no voice like the voice of Jesus,
  Tender and sweet its chime;
Like musical ring of a flowing spring
  In the bright summertime.
There is no voice like the voice of Jesus,
  Tender and sweet its chime;
Like musical ring of a flowing spring
  In the bright summertime.

Oh, let us hark to the voice of Jesus!
  Then we shall never roam;
And we shall rest on His loving breast,
  And with Him we’ll be one!
Oh, let us hark to the voice of Jesus!
  Then we shall never roam;
And we shall rest on His loving breast,
  And with Him we’ll be one!

This song moves my heart, we sung it with friends while still new in faith. Indeed there is no love like Jesus love. While we were sinners He died for us Amen!

i like this hymn very much and it brings tears to my eyes for the precious, boundless, pure love of Jesus for us. There is no love like the love of Jesus my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Littlewood & Perkins.
