Charity by Jeremiah Ingalls — Lyrics
The Aletheian Critic, Volume 1, Lexington, Kentucky, 1804
65. 65. 65. 65.
The Loving Saint
1. O Jesus my Savior,
To thee I submit,
With love and thanksgiving
Fall down at thy feet
The sacrifice offered,
My soul, flesh and blood:
Thou art my redeemer
My Lord and my God!
2. I love thee, I love thee,
I love thee, my God!
I love thee my Savior!
I love thee my Lord!
I love thee, I love thee,
And that thou dost know;
But how much I love thee
I never can show.
3. I'm happy, I'm happy,

About Charity
Jeremiah Ingalls' Charity is a sacred SAB anthem in English, set to a text of heartfelt devotion. The music opens with a gentle, devotional atmosphere, the voices moving in close harmony. The composer develops the text's expressions of profound love for Jesus and the joy of salvation through clear melodic lines and a generally homophonic texture. The piece offers moments of quiet contemplation alongside more exultant declarations. Its straightforward construction and earnest sentiment make it suitable for a variety of church services where a message of steadfast faith is desired.
