My God, I Love Thee (EN 4537)

EN 4537 My God, I Love Thee

John.21.15

Versi Version 1

1

My God, I love Thee; not because

I hope for Heav’n thereby,

Nor yet because who love Thee not

May eternally die.

2

Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me

Upon the cross embrace;

For me didst bear the nails and spear,

And manifold disgrace.

3

And griefs and torments numberless,

And sweat of agony;

E’en death itself; and all for man

Who was Thine enemy.

4

Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ

Should I not love Thee well?

Not for the hope of winning Heaven,

Nor of escaping hell.

5

Not with the hope of gaining aught,

Nor seeking a reward,

But as Thyself hast loved 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.
