|
| 1 | Jesus, my Lord, who died on the cross, |
| Lovely art Thou to me; |
| Silver and gold—I count them but dross; |
| Naught can compare with Thee. |
|
| 2 | What are earth's joys, so fleeting and vain, |
| Jesus, my Lord, to me! |
| Sweeter by far is the heavenly gain; |
| Lovely art Thou to me. |
|
| 3 | Storms may assail, my bark may be tossed, |
| Voyaging o'er life's sea; |
| Thou, Lord, art near, I cannot be lost, |
| Refuge art Thou to me. |
|
| 4 | Jesus, my Lord, 'twas sin's heavy load, |
| Th' curse that was borne by Thee; |
| Stroke upon stroke, as God's wrath awoke, |
| Fell upon Thee for me. |
|
| 5 | Jesus, my Lord, what oceans of love |
| Stirred in Thy heart for me! |
| Jesus, my Lord, in glory above, |
| Lovely art Thou to me. |
