I Love Thee

The Baptist Hymnal (1991)

#211

[1] I love Thee, I love Thee, I love Thee, my Lord;

I love Thee, my Savior, I love Thee, my God:

I love Thee, I love Thee, and that Thou dost know;

But how much I love Thee my actions will show.

[2] I'm happy, I'm happy, oh, wondrous account!

My joys are immortal, I stand on the mount:

I gaze on my treasure and long to be there,

With Jesus and angels and kindred so dear.

[3] O Jesus, my Savior, with Thee I am blest,

My life and salvation, my joy and my rest:

Thy name be my theme, and Thy love be my song;

Thy grace shall inspire both my heart and my tongue.

[4] Oh, who's like my Savior? He's Salem's bright King;

He smiles and He loves me and helps me to sing:

I'll praise Him, I'll praise Him with notes loud and clear,

While rivers of pleasure my spirit do cheer.
