Representative Text

1 Jesus, I love Thee! Thou dost know
How true my love, how deep my woe;
Almost too deep to bear!
But Thou wilt guide me by Thy hand,
Strong in Thy strength I yet may stand,
Still rest­ing in Thy care.

2 Thou wilt not leave the weak­est one;
Though ev­ery out­ward hope be gone,
I know that Thou art nigh;
Man knows not what my suf­fer­ings are,
He can­not know; he would not care;
But Thou art sym­pa­thy.

3 Thou wilt not let my foot­steps fail,
Nor let me, jour­ney­ing through this vale,
Bring on Thy Gos­pel shame;
Though naught is mine but sin and woe,
Yet in Thy right­eous­ness I go,
And tri­umph in Thy name.

4 And when the bit­ter cup is past,
And when I sink in death at last,
It is to be with Thee;
To come with Thee in clouds of heav­en,
Pure, hol­y, ran­somed,Thine, for­giv’n,
Ever to reign with Thee.
