I Love thee my Saviour, I love thee my Lord
I love thy dear people, thy ways and thy word;
With tender emotion I love sinners too,
Since Jesus has died to redeem them from woe.
Thy Spirit first taught me to know I was blind,
Then taught me the way of salvation to find;
And when I was sinking in gloomy despair,
Thy mercy relieved me, and bid me not fear.
My Jesus is precious--I can not forbear,
Though sinners despise me, his love to declare;
His love overwhelms me, had I wings I'd fly,
To praise him in mansions prepared in the sky.
