Profession of Love to Christ

Author: Dr. St. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: And have I, Christ, no love to thee Lyrics: 1 And have I, Christ, no love to thee, No passion for thy charms? No wish my Savior's face to see, And dwell within his arms? 2 Is there no spark of gratitude In this cold heart of mine To him whose generous bosom glow'd With friendship all divine? 3 Can I pronounce his charming name, His acts of kindness tell; And, while I dwell upon the theme, No sweet emotion feel? 4 Such base ingratitude as this What heart but must detest! Sure Christ deserves the noblest place In every human breast. 5 A very wretch, Lord, I should prove Had I no love to thee: Rather than not my Savior love, O may I cease to be!
