Jesus, I Love Thee

Jesus

I love Thee

Thou art to me

Dearer than ever mor­tal can be;

Jesus

I love Thee

Sav­ior divine

Earth has no friend­ship con­stant as Thine.

Tenderly fold­ed

safe on Thy breast

There be my re­fuge

there let me rest.

Full of com­pas­sion

lov­ing and mild

Thou art my fa­ther

I am Thy child;

Thou wilt for­give me

when I am wrong;

Thou art my com­fort

Thou art my song.

Blessèd Re­deem­er

pre­cious to me

Draw me still clos­er

clos­er to Thee.

Jesus

I love Thee

reign in my heart

Oh

may Thy Spir­it nev­er de­part.

Jesus

I love Thee

yes

Thou art mine—

Living or dy­ing

still I am Thine.

Jesus

I love Thee

Thou art to me

Dearer than ev­er mor­tal can be.
