Methodist-Hymns-446
1: MY God, I love Thee- not because
I hope for heaven thereby,
Nor yet because who love Thee not
Are lost eternally.
2: Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me
Upon the Cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace,
3: And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony,
Yea, death itself – and all for me,
Who was Thine enemy.
4: Then why, O blessed Jesu Christ,
Should I not love Thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
Or of escaping hell;
5: Not with the hope of gaining aught;
Not seeking a reward;
But as Thyself hast loved me,
O ever-loving Lord.
6: E’en so I love Thee, and will love,
And in Thy praise will sing;
Because Thou art my Ioving God
And my eternal King.
