O Jesus Jesus Dearest Lord Lyrics

1. O Jesus, Jesus dearest Lord

Forgive me if I say,

For very love Thy Sacred name

A thousand times a day

I love Thee so, I know not how,

No transports to control.

Thy love is like a burning fire,

Within my very soul.

2. O wonderful, that Thou shouldst let,

So vile a heart as mine,

Love thee with such a love as this

And make so free with Thine,

The craft of this wise world of ours,

Poor wisdom seems to me,

Ah, ah, dearest Jesus, I have grown

Childish with love of Thee.

3. For thou to me art all in all

My honour and my strength.

My soul’s eternal health

Burn O Love with my heart

4. O light in darkness, joy in grief,

O heaven begun on earth,

Jesus my love, my treasure,

Who can tell what Thou art worth?

O Jesus, Jesus sweetest Lord,

What art thou not to me?

Each hour brings joys before unkown

Each day new liberty.
