Lord, Thee I Love with All My Heart

1. Lord, Thee I love with all my heart; I pray Thee, ne'er from me de- part; With ten- der mer- cy cheer me. Earth has no plea- sure I would share, Yea, Heav'n it- self were void and bare If Thou, Lord, wert not near me. And should my heart for sor- row break, My trust in Thee can no- thing shake. Thou art the por- tion I have sought; Thy pre- cious blood my soul has bought. Lord Je- sus Christ, My God and Lord, my God and Lord, For- sake me not! I trust Thy Word.

2. Yea, Lord, 'twas Thy rich bount- y gave My bo- dy, soul, and all I have In this poor life of la- bor. Lord, grant that I in eve- ry place May glor- i- fy Thy la- vish grace And serve and help my neigh- bor. Let no false doc- trine me be- guile, Let Sa- tan not my soul de- file. Give strength and pa- tience un- to me To bear my cross and fol- low Thee. Lord Je- sus Christ, My God and Lord, my God and Lord, In death Thy com- fort still a- fford.

3. Lord, let at last Thine an- gels come, To A- br'am's bo- som bear me home, That I may die un- fear- ing; And in its nar- row cham- ber keep My bo- dy safe in peace- ful sleep Un- til Thy re- ap- pear- ing. And then from death a- wa- ken me, That these mine eyes with joy may see, O Son of God, Thy glor- ious face, My Sa- vior and my fount of grace. Lord Je- sus Christ, My prayer at- tend, my prayer at- tend, And I will praise Thee with- out end!
