1 I will love Thee, O my Savior,
I will love thee, Christ my King;
For without Thy loving favor
Life can naught but sorrow bring.

Refrain:
More and more, more and more,
Let me love Thee more and more.

2 There’s no other name above Thee,
And no other friend is known;
And the souls of those who love Thee
Naught can sever from Thine own. [Refrain]

3 Lord, Thy wondrous love confessing,
Let me serve Thee here below;
And the fulness of Thy blessing
Make my longing heart to know. [Refrain]

4 I will love Thee: naught can sever
From Thy love the trusting heart;
While I love Thee I can never,
Never from Thy love depart. [Refrain]
