humbly fall

be-fore His feet, For none can per-ish there. A-MEN.

1. My God, I love Thee: not because I hope for heaven thereby;

Nor yet because if I love not I must for-ever die. A-MEN.

2 But, O my Jesus, Thou didst me
Upon the cross embrace;

For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace,

3 And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony,

E'en death itself; and all for me
Who was Thine enemy.

1. Breast the wave, Christian, When it is strong-est; Watch for day, Christ-ian,

When the night's long est; On ward and

A joyful song I'll raise;
But oh, eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise!

J. STAINER,

1. Thou hid - den love of God, whose height, Whose depth unfathomed

2 Is there a thing beneath the sun

That strives with Thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,

The Lord of every motion there.

Then shall my heart from earth be free,
When it hath found repose in Thee.

3 Oh, hide this self from me, that I

No more, but Christ in me, may live!
My base affections crucify,

Nor let one favorite sin survive;
In all things nothing may I see,
Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee.
4 Each moment draw from earth away
My heart, that lowly waits Thy call!
Speak to my inmost soul. and say

I am thy love, thy God, thy all!
To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice,
To taste Thy love, be all my choice!
