Thee will I love with all my power, With ardor time shall ne'er destroy. Thee will I love, O Light Divine, So long as life is mine. 2 Thee will I love, my Life, my Savior, Who art my best and truest Friend. Thee will I love and praise forever, For never shall Thy kindness end. Thee will I love with all my heart-- Thou my Redeemer art! 3 I thank Thee, Jesus, Sun from heaven, Whose radiance hath brought light to me. I thank Thee, who hast richly given All that could make me glad and free. I thank Thee that my soul is healed By what Thy lips revealed. 4 O keep me watchful, then, and humble; And suffer me no more to stray. Uphold me when my feet would stumble, Nor let me loiter by the way. Fill all my nature with Thy light, O Radiance strong and bright! 5 Oh, teach me, Lord, to love Thee truly With soul and body, head and heart, And grant me grace that I may duly Practice fore'er love's sacred art. Grant that my ev'ry thought may be Directed e'er to Thee. 6 Thee will I love, my Crown of gladness, Thee will I love, my God and Lord, Amid the darkest depths of sadness, Not for the hope of high reward, For Thine own sake, O Light Divine, So long as life is mine.

Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation; Enter ev'ry trembling heart! 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into ev'ry troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty, to deliver; Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously return, and never, Nevermore, Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish then, Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee, Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav'n we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
