1 No other love like Thine can be,
None can with it compare;
Behold my heart, dear Lord, and see
Thou hast no rival there!
Thou who didst live Thy love to show,
Thou who didst die for me,
With all my heart, Lord, Thou dost know,
I love, I love but Thee!
Refrain:
Dear Saviour, look on me, behold
My inmost heart and see,
With all my mind, my strength, my soul,
I love, I love but Thee!
2 When earthly joys allure my soul
From purer joys above,
My ever care on Thee I roll
And rest upon Thy love.
To do Thy will my joy shall be,
Thou shalt each act control,
My perfect love I offer Thee,
The tribute of my soul. [Refrain]
3 O blessed Master, friend so true,
To thee myself I give,
To do what Thou wouldst have me do,
For Thee alone to live
Thou who didst toil, and suffer shame
Upon the cross for me,
With all my strength, in Thy dear name,
I’ll gladly toil for Thee. [Refrain]
