Author: Johann Scheffler Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #469 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: Thee will I love, my Strength, my Tow'r Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, my Strength, my Tow'r,
Thee will I love, my Joy, my Crown;
Thee will I love with all my pow'r,
In all Thy works, and Thee alone;
Thee will I love, till Thy pure fire
Fill all my soul with chaste desire.
2 I thank Thee, uncreated Sun,
That Thy bright beams on me have shined;
I thank Thee, who hast overthrown
My foes, and healed my wounded mind;
I thank Thee, whose enlivening voice
Bids my freed heart in Thee rejoice.
3 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.
4 Thee will I love, my Joy, my Crown;
Thee will I love, my Lord, my God;
Thee love beneath Thy smile or frown,
Beneath Thy scepter or Thy rod.
What though my flesh and heart decay?
Thee shall I love in endless day.
Amen.
