Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me
Hymnal: Revival Hymns #90 (1858) Hymnal Title: Revival Hymns
Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me
O heav'nly love! as fragrance sweet
Author: James M. Gray; Francis Xavier Hymnal: Revival Hymns #140 (1905) Hymnal Title: Revival Hymns First Line: O Thou, my Jesus, Thou didst me Lyrics: 1 O Thou, my Jesus, Thou didst me
Upon the cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace,
And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony,—
E’en death itself—and all for one
Who was Thine enemy!
Refrain:
O Heav’nly love! as fragrance sweet,
That one might pour upon Thy feet;
My ransomed soul an offering
To Thee, my Lord, O let me bring!
2 O why, Thou blessed Jesus Christ,
Should I not love Thee well?
Not with the hope of winning heav’n,
Nor of escaping hell;
Not with the thought of gaining aught,
Nor seeking a reward;
But as Thyself hast loved me,
O ever loving Lord! [Refrain]
3 My God, I love Thee, not because
I hope for heav’n thereby;
Nor yet that they who love thee not
Must burn eternally;
But all because Thou lovest me,
A sinner dead in sin,
And hast Thy Spirit given me,
And wrought Thy love within. [Refrain] Tune Title: [O Thou, my Jesus, Thou didst me]
O heav'nly love! as fragrance sweet
