Ely Cathedral Choir - My God, I Love Thee (After Handel's HWV 67) lyrics

Artist: Ely Cathedral Choir

album: The Complete New English Hymnal, Vol. 3


MY God, I love thee; not because
I hope for heaven thereby,
Nor yet because who love thee not
Are lost eternally.
Thou, O my Jesus, thou didst me
Upon the Cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace,
And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony;
E'en death itself; and all for one
Who was thine enemy.
Then why, O blessed Jesu Christ,
Should I not love thee well,
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
Or of escaping hell;
Not with the hope of gaining aught,
Not seeking a reward;
But as thyself hast loved me,
O ever-loving Lord!
E'en so I love thee, and will love,
And in thy praise will sing,
Solely because thou art my God,
And my eternal King.
