Blessed Savior, Thee I Love

Representative Text

1 Blessed Savior, Thee I love
All my other joys above;
All my hopes in Thee abide,
Thou my Hope, and naught betide;
Ever let my glory be,
Only, only, only Thee.

2 Once again beside the cross,
All my gain I count but loss;
Earthly pleasures fade away,
Clouds they are that hide my day;
Hence, vain shadows! let me see
Jesus, crucified for me.

3 Blessed Savior, Thine am I,
Thine to live, and Thine to die;
Height, or depth, or earthly power,
Ne’er shall hide my Savior more;
Ever shall my glory be,
Only, only, only Thee!

Amen.
