Thee will I love, my hope, my joy;
Thee will I love in fullest measure
With ardor time shall ne'er destroy;
Thee will I love, O Light divine,
So long as life is mine.
2 Thee will I love, my life, my Savior,
Thee will I love, my truest friend;
Thee will I love and praise forever,
For never shall Thy kindness end;
Thee will I love with all my heart,
For Thou my Bridegroom art.
3 I thank Thee, Jesus, Sun from heaven,
Whose rays have bro't sweet life to me;
I thank Thee, who hast richly given
All that could make me glad and free;
I thank Thee that my soul is healed
By what Thy lips revealed.
4 Thee will I love, my crown of gladness,
Thee will I love, my God and Lord,
Amid the darkest depths of sadness,
Not for the hope of high reward,
But for Thy sake, O Light divine,
So long as life is mine. Topics: The Christian Life Conserration Languages: English Tune Title: TREASURE
