Lord, Thou art questioning: Lovest thou me?

1 Lord, thou art questioning: Lovest thou me?
Yea, Lord, thou knowest, my answer must be;
But since love’s value is proved by love’s test,
Jesus, I’ll give thee the dearest and best.

Refrain:
All in my heart, Lord, thou canst read;
Master, thou knowest I love thee indeed.
Ask what thou will my devotion to lest,
I will surrender the dearest and best.

2 How couldst thou smile on me if, in my heart,
I were unwilling from treasures to part?
Since my redemption cost thee such a price,
Utmost surrender alone will suffice.

3 Down at thy feet all my fears I let go,
Back on thy strength all my weakness I throw;
Lord, in my life thou shalt have thine own way,
Speak but the word, and thy child will obey.
