Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #404 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sincerity Lyrics: 1 Do not I love Thee, O my Lord?
Behold my heart and see;
And turn each hateful idol out
That dares to rival Thee.
2 Do not I love Thee from my soul?
Then let me nothing love:
Dead be my heart to ev'ry joy
Which Thou dost not approve.
3 Is not Thy name melodious still
To mine attentive ear?
Doth not each pulse with pleasure beat
My Saviour’s voice to hear?
4 Hast Thou a lamb in all Thy flock
I would disdain to feed?
Hast Thou a foe, before whose face
I fear Thy cause to plead?
5 Thou know’st I love Thee, dearest Lord;
But oh! I long to soar
Far from the sphere of mortal joys,
That I may love Thee more. Languages: English
Do not I love Thee, O my Lord?
