Do Not I Love Thee, O My Lord? (EN 1855)

EN 1855 Do Not I Love Thee, O My Lord?

Ps.139.23

Versi Version 1

1

Do not I love Thee, O my Lord?

Behold my heart and see;

And turn each cursed idol out,

That dares to rival Thee.

2

Do not I love Thee, O my Lord?

Then let me nothing love;

Dead be my heart to every joy,

When Jesus cannot move.

3

Is not Thy Name melodious still

To mine attentive ear?

Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound

My Savior’s voice to hear?

4

Hast Thou a lamb in all Thy flock

I would disdain to feed?

Hast Thou a foe, before whose face

I fear Thy cause to plead?

5

Would not mine ardent spirit vie

With angels round the throne,

To execute Thy sacred will,

And make Thy glory known?

6

Would not my heart pour forth its blood

In honor of Thy Name?

And challenge the cold hand of death

To damp th’immortal flame?

7

Thou know’st I love Thee, dearest Lord,

But O, I long to soar

Far from the sphere of mortal joys,

And learn to love Thee more!
