The Hymnal ‎#228

228. Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all

Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,
Hear me, blest Savior, when I call;
Hear me, and from thy dwelling-place
Pour down the riches of thy grace.
Jesus, my Lord, I thee adore;
O make me love thee more and more!

Jesus, too late I thee have sought;
How can I love thee as I ought?
And how extol thy matchless fame,
The glorious beauty of thy Name?
Jesus, my Lord, I thee adore;
O make me love thee more and more!

Jesus, what didst thou find in me
That thou hast dealt so lovingly?
How great the joy that thou hast brought!
O far exceeding hope or thought!
Jesus, my Lord, I thee adore;
O make me love thee more and more!

Jesus, of thee shall be my song;
To thee my heart and soul belong:
All that I am or have is thine;
And thou, my Savior, thou art mine.
Jesus, my Lord, I thee adore;
O make me love thee more and more!

Amen.
