Laudes Domini ‎#799

799. "My Strength, my Tower"

1 Thee will I love, my strength, my tower,
Thee will I love, my joy, my crown!
Thee will I love, with all my power,
In all thy works, and thee alone:
Thee will I love, till the pure fire
Fill my whole soul with chaste desire.

2 Uphold me in the doubtful race,
Nor suffer me again to stray;
Strengthen my feet, with steady pace
Still to press forward in thy way;
That all my powers, with all their might,
In thy sole glory may unite.

3 Thee will I love, my joy, my crown!
Thee will I love, my Lord, my God!
Thee will I love, beneath thy frown,
Or smile, thy sceptre or thy rod:
What though my heart and flesh decay?
Thee shall I love in endless day.
