"JESUS MY LORD, MY GOD, MY ALL" — Lyrics

VERSE 1 Jesus my Lord, my God my all! How can I love Thee as I ought? And how revere this wondrous gift So far surpassing hope or thought? CHORUS Sweet Sacrament we thee adore O make us love thee more and more O make us love thee more and more. VERSE 2 Had I but Mary's sinless heart With which to love Thee dearest King

About "JESUS MY LORD, MY GOD, MY ALL"

"Jesus My Lord, My God, My All" is a profoundly reverent hymn centered on the mystery of the Eucharist. The verses express a deep, personal awe at the Real Presence of Christ, asking how one could possibly love Him enough in return for such a gift. It is a staple in Catholic parishes, instantly recognizable to anyone who has spent time in quiet prayer before the altar.

Choirs most often bring this piece out during Communion or for Benediction and Eucharistic Adoration. The soaring refrain, "Sweet Sacrament we thee adore," is one that congregations know by heart, usually swelling in volume as the voices repeat the plea to "make us love thee more and more."

The hymn's enduring strength lies in its intimate lyrics. By wishing for "Mary's sinless heart" to properly love the "dearest King," the song gives singers the words to express their own devotion. It is a solemn choice that draws the whole church into a moment of shared worship and thanksgiving.
