Author: Charles Austin Miles Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2909 First Line: I love to think of Jesus, who else could it be Refrain First Line: I love to think of Jesus and His love for me Lyrics: 1. I love to think of Jesus, who else could it be, Who could come down from Heav’n to save a soul like me? To think of Him does not repay the debt I owe, I’ll do my best my gratitude to show. Refrain I love to think of Jesus and His love for me; My soul is lost in wonder that such love could be; I’ve known the love of mother, Of sister, friend and brother, Like Jesus there’s no other, He’s more than all to me. 2. I love to think that He has given me a part In pardon that He purchased with a broken heart; And oft my eyes are filled with tears as I recall What He has done for me, and for us all. [Refrain] 3. I love to think of Jesus when I am distressed, To think upon His promise brings a blissful rest; In sorrow, pain and anguish He is near I know, It is no wonder that I love Him so. [Refrain] 4. I love to think of Him when tears of sorrow fall, To know that He has suffered and He knows it all; It gives me strength to bear my burden nor complain, I never yet have called to Him in vain. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I love to think of Jesus, who else could it be]

1868 - 1946 Person Name: Charles Austin Miles Author of "I Love to Think of Jesus" in The Cyber Hymnal Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years.

He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912).
