Jesus, I Love Thee! Thou Dost Know

Jesus

I love Thee! Thou dost know

How true my love

how deep my woe;

Almost too deep to bear!

But Thou wilt guide me by Thy hand

Strong in Thy strength I yet may stand

Still rest­ing in Thy care.

Thou wilt not leave the weak­est one;

Though ev­ery out­ward hope be gone

I know that Thou art nigh;

Man knows not what my suf­fer­ings are

He can­not know; he would not care;

But Thou art sym­pa­thy.

Thou wilt not let my foot­steps fail

Nor let me

jour­ney­ing through this vale

Bring on Thy Gos­pel shame;Though naught is mine but sin and woe

Yet in Thy right­eous­ness I go

And tri­umph in Thy name.

And when the bit­ter cup is past

And when I sink in death at last

It is to be with Thee;

To come with Thee in clouds of heav­en

Pure

ho­ly

ran­somed

Thine

for­giv’n

Ever to reign with Thee.
