Text:Precious Jesus

215. Precious Jesus

1 O to love thee, precious Jesus,
O to know that thou art mine;
All my heart I give thee, Jesus,
If thou wilt but make it thine.

Chorus:
Precious name, precious name,
Thou art all the world to me.
All of earth, all of heav'n,
All I want I find in thee.

2 Take my warmest, best affections;
Take my memory, mind, and will;
Then with all thy loving spirit
All my emptied nature fill. [Chorus]

3 O how precious, dear Redeemer,
Is the love that fills my soul!
It is done! The word is spoken!
"Be thou every whit made whole!" [Chorus]
