2 If Christ is mine, let friends forsake,
And earthly comforts flee;

He, the full source of every good,
Is more than all to me.

A-men.

3 If Christ is mine, unharmed I pass
Through death's dark dismal vale,
He'll be my comfort and my stay,
When heart and flesh shall fail.

4 O Christ, assure me Thou art mine;
I nothing want beside;

My soul shall at the Fountain live,
When all the streams are dried.

THE KING OF LOVE MY SHEPHERD IS.

To live in Thee is bliss to me,
To die is endless rest.

I WOULD LOVE THEE, GOD AND FATHER.
"Rhone." 8s. & 7s. D.

Rev. Walter Edmund Krebs, (1837- ) 1897.

1. I would love Thee, God and Father, My Redeemer and my King: 2. I would love Thee; may Thy brightness Dazzle my re- joi-cing eyes;

I would love Thee; for, without Thee, Life is but a bitter thing.
I would love Thee; may Thy goodness Watch from heaven o'er all I prize.

I would love Thee; look up-on me, Ever guide me with Thine eye:
I would love Thee, I have vowed it; On Thy love my heart is set;

I would love Thee; if not nourished By Thy love, my soul would die.
While I love Thee, I will never My

Redeem-er's blood for - get.

Let the Water and the Blood, From Thy riv-en side which flowed,
Could my zeal no res-pite know, Could my tears for ev - er flow,

Be of sin the dou-ble cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
All for sin could not a-tone, Thou must save, and Thou a-lone. A-men.

3 Nothing in my hand I bring;
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to The for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment-throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
