10104. I Would Love Thee, God And Father

1 I would love Thee, God and Father,
My Redeemer and my king:
I would love Thee, for without Thee,
Life is but a bitter thing.
I would love Thee; look upon me,
Ever guide me with Thine eye:
I would love Thee; if not nourished
By Thy love, my soul would die.

2 I would love Thee; may Thy brightness
Dazzle my rejoicing eyes;
I would love Thee; may Thy goodness
Watch from Heav’n o’er all I prize.
I would love Thee, I have vowed it;
On Thy love my heart is set;
While I love Thee, I will never
My Redeemer’s blood forget.
