Poems

JESUS, SAVIOUR, HOW I LOVE THEE!

From the March 1899 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Jesus, Saviour, how I love Thee!
Love Thee more than tongue can tell,
For the peace which Thou hast brought me,—
Peace which in my heart doth dwell.
Holy rapture, heavenly comfort,
Perfect rest from sin and woe,—
Jesus, Saviour, how I love Thee!
Only Thou and I do know.

Jesus, Saviour, how I love Thee!
For Thy sacrifice for me,
For Thy life so pure and holy,
For Thy death on Calvary.
O the streams of living water!
Freely do they ever flow,—
Jesus, Saviour, how I love Thee!
Only Thou and I do know.

Jesus, Saviour, how I love Thee!
Love Thee for Thy love for me.
May I show how much I love Thee
By the way I follow Thee.
Teach me purity and patience,
In Thy likeness may I grow,—
Jesus, Saviour, how I love Thee!
Only Thou and I do know.
