The Half Has Never Yet been Told 1 I know I love Thee better, Lord Than any earthly joy: For Thou hast given me the peace Which nothing can destroy. Refrain: The half has never yet been told, Of love so full and free; The half has never yet been told, The blood, it cleanseth me. 2 I know that Thou art nearer still Than any earthly throng; And sweeter is the thought of Thee Than any lovely song. [Refrain] 3 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, Then may I well be glad; Without the secret of Thy love, I could not but be sad. [Refrain] 4 O Savior, precious Savior mine! What will Thy presence be, If such a life of joy can crown Our walk on earth with Thee?
