Lyrics

Oh, to love Thee, precious Je­sus,
Oh, to know that Thou art mine;
All my heart I give Thee, Je­sus,
If Thou wilt but make it Thine.

Refrain

Precious Je­sus, precious Je­sus,
Thou art all the world to me;
All of earth and all of Hea­ven,
All I need I find in Thee.

Take my warmest, best affections;
Take my memory, mind and will;
Then with all Thy loving spirit
All my emptied nature fill.

Refrain

Oh, how precious, dear Re­deem­er,
Is the love that fills my soul!
It is done! The word is spoken!
Be thou every whit made whole!
