Hymn A & M 106- My God, I love thee; not because I hope for heaven thereby

1. My God, I love thee; not because

I hope for heaven thereby,

nor yet because who love thee not

are lost eternally.

2. Thou, O Lord 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;

yea, death itself; and all for me

who was thine enemy.

4. Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ,

should I not love thee well,

not for the sake of winning heaven,

nor of escaping hell;

5. Not from the hope of gaining aught,

not seeking a reward;

but as thyself hast loved me,

O ever loving Lord!

6. So would I love thee, dearest Lord,

and in thy praise will sing,

solely because thou art my God

and my most loving King.
