Edward Caswall; Francis Xavier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 216 hymnals Topics: Christ Praise to Christ Lyrics: 1 My God, I love Thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby, Nor yet because who love Thee not Must die eternally. 2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me Upon the cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace; 3 Yea, griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony, E'en death itself didst bear for one Who was Thine enemy. 4 Then why, O blessèd Jesus Christ, Should I not love thee well? Not for the sake of winning heaven, Nor of escaping hell. 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught, Not seeking a reward; But as Thyself hast lovèd me, O everlasting Lord! 6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing; Solely because Thou art my God And my Eternal King. Amen. Used With Tune: SOLOMON Text Sources: From a 17th century Latin version of a Spanish sonnet

We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge-- take it to the Lord in prayer!
