SS&S 604: I LOVE THEE, LORD;YET 'TIS NO LOVE OF MINE

SS&S 604: I LOVE THEE, LORD;YET 'TIS NO LOVE OF MINE

1. I love Thee, Lord; yet 'tis no love of mine

That goeth forth to that great heart of Thine:

'Tis Thine own love which Thou hast given me

Returning back, O loving Lord, to Thee.

 

Oh ! help me, Lord, to take, by grace divine,

Yet more and more of that great love of Thine;

That day by day my heart may give to Thee

A deeper love and growing constantly.

 

2. The earth absorbs the soft, refreshing rain,

And sends it back in flowers and fruits again;

So I receive Thy love so rich and free,

And send it back in joy and praise to Thee.

 

3. The moon receives the sun's bright, golden light,

And gives it forth to cheer the dark-some night

So I receive the rays of love divine,

And with them cheer this weary world of Thine.

 

4. 'Tis by Thy love that I can love and bless

The foes who seek to blast my happiness;

Can e'en rejoice, when bearing wrong and shame,

Thou deem'st me meet to suffer for Thy name.

 

5. Naught but Thy love can satisfy my heart,

Constrain my will from self and sin to part;

In love so great Thou giv'st Thyself to me;

For Thou art Love----to all eternity.
