My God, I love thee; not because
Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #730a (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, I love thee; not because
I hope for heaven thereby,
nor yet because who love thee not
are lost eternally.
2 Thou, O my Jesus, thou didst me
upon the cross embrace;
for me didst bear the nails and spear,
and manifold disgrace;
3 And griefs and torments numberless,
and sweat of agony;
yea, death itself — and all for me
who was thine enemy.
4 Then why, O blessèd Jesu Christ,
should I not love thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
nor of escaping hell;
5 Not from the hope of gaining aught,
not seeking a reward;
but as thyself hast lovèd me,
O ever-loving Lord.
6 So would I love thee, dearest Lord,
and in thy praise will sing;
solely because thou art my God,
and my most loving King. Topics: Church year Passiontide; Church Year Good Friday; Devotion; Heaven; Love for God; Passiontide Scripture: Romans 5:6-11 Languages: English Tune Title: ST FRANCIS XAVIER
