Lyrics

Jesus, my Lord, my God, my All,
Hear me, blest Sav­ior, when I call;
Hear me, and from Thy dwell­ing place
Pour down the rich­es of Thy grace;
Jesus, my Lord, I Thee adore;
O make me love Thee more and more.

Jesus, too late I Thee have sought;
How can I love Thee as I ought?
And how ex­tol Thy match­less fame,
The glo­ri­ous beau­ty of Thy name?
Jesus, my Lord, I Thee adore;
O make me love Thee more and more.

Jesus, what didst Thou find in me
That Thou hast dealt so lov­ing­ly?
How great the joy that Thou hast brought,
So far ex­ceed­ing hope or thought!
Jesus, my Lord, I Thee adore;
O make me love Thee more and more.

Jesus, of Thee shall be my song;
To Thee my heart and soul be­long;
All that I have or am is Thine;
And Thou, blest Sav­ior, Thou art mine;
Jesus, my Lord, I Thee adore;
O make me love Thee more and more.
