The Helper in Sacred Song ‎#107

107. Lov'st Thou Jesus?

1 Art thou in thy spirit lowly,
Like the Man of Nazareth?
Art thou seeking to be wholly
Join’d to Him—come life or death?
Lov’st thou Jesus? Lov’st thou Jesus?
More than thine own vital breath?

Refrain:
Lov’st thou Jesus? Lov’st thou Jesus?
More than all the world beside?
Lov’st thou Jesus, Christ thy Saviour,
Lamb of God, the Crucified?

2 Hath the water trickled on thee?
Or hast thou been plung’d below?
Have a Bishop’s hands upon thee
Lain as soft as falling snow?
Lov’st thou Jesus? Lov’st thou Jesus?
This alone ‘twere wise to know. [Refrain]

3 Is thy bosom full of sorrow?
Is a cloud upon thy way?
Why the worldling’s burden borrow?
Child of grace and promise, say!
Lov’st thou Jesus? Lov’st thou Jesus?
Joy should be thy guest today. [Refrain]
