I Know Thee, Savior › Representative Texts

1 I know Thee Savior! God Thou art,
Jesus, the feeble sinner's Friennd;
Lord, do not now from me depart,
But stay, and love me to the end.
The mercies never shall revmoe;
Thy nature and Thy name is Love.

2 'Tis Love! 'Tis Love! Thou diedst for me,
By grace Thou livest in my heart;
The morning breaks, the shadows flee,
Pure universal love Thou art.
To me, to all, Thy mercies move,
Thy nature and Thy name is Love.
