Therefore to love Thee Thou teach me,
And I Thy love shall ever sing.

And with Thy love Thou me feed.

Thy Love ever be my soul's meed.

Jesus, my heart with love Thou light!
Thy love me make e'er to forsake
All worldly joy both day and night
Thee alone my joy to make.

Jesus, Thy love me chaufe within
So that no thing but Thee I seek;
In Thy love make my soul to brynne
Thy love me make both mild and meek.

Jesus, my joy and my loving,
Jesus, my comfort clear,
Jesus, my God; Jesus, my King,
Jesus withouten peer.

Jesus, Jesus, my honey sweet,
My heart, my comforting,
Jesus all my bales thou bete
And to Thy bliss me bring.

Jesus, in Thy love wound my thought
And lift my heart to Thee
Jesus, my soul that Thou dear bought,
Thy lover make it be.
