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,
0! wondrous account:
My joys are immortal!
I stand on the mount!
I gaze on my treasure,
And long to be there,
With angels my kindred
And Jesus my dear.
4. O Jesus, my Savior,
In thee I am blest,
My life and my treasure,
My joy and my rest!
Thy grace is my theme,
And thy name is my song;
Thy love doth inspire
My heart and my tongue.
5. All human expressions
Are empty and vain,
They cannot unriddle
The heavenly flame!
I am sure, if the tongue
Of an angel I had,
I could not the mystery
Completely describe.
