I Love Jesus

English Christian Songs Lyrics

1.O Jesus, Jesus, dearest Lord !
For ever I will say,
For very love,Thy sacred name
A thousand times a day.

CHORUS

O Jesus, Lord, with me abide ;
I rest in Thee, whate’er betide ;
Thy gracious smile is my reward,
I love, I love Thee, Lord !

2.I love Thee so, I know not how
My transports to control ;
Thy love is like a burning fire
Within my very soul.

3.For Thou to me art all in all ---
My honour and my wealth,
My heart’s desire, my body’s strength,
My soul’s eternal health.

4. Burn, burn, O, love, within my heart,
Burn fiercely night and day,
Till all the dross of earthly loves
Is burned and burned away.

5.O, light in darkness, joy in grief,
O, heav’n begun on earth ;
Jesus my love, my treasure, who
Can tell what Thou art worth !

6.What limit is there to this love ?
Thy flight, where with thou stay ?
Oh, no !our Lord is sweeter far
To-day than yesterday.
