Christian Hymns ‎#54

54. O Jesus, dearest Lord, to Thee

1 O Jesus, dearest Lord, to Thee
My fervent thanks shall ever be
For Thine own flesh and precious blood,
Which now Thy love on me bestowed.

2 Break forth in praise, rejoice, my heart!
Exceeding riches is my part;
My Jesus now in me doth dwell;
My joy and bliss no tongue can tell.
