Thee Will I Love, My Strength My Tower
"I love Thee, O my strength." - Ps 18:1
VERSE 1
Thee will I love, my strength my tower,
Thee will I love, my joy, my crown,
Thee will I love with all my power,
In all Thy works, and Thee alone,
Thee will I love, till the pure fire
Fill my whole soul with chaste desire.
VERSE 2
I thank Thee, uncreated Sun,
That Thy bright beams on me have shined;
I thank Thee, who hast overthrown
My foes, and healed my wounded mind;
I thank Thee, whose enlivening voice
Bids my freed heart in Thee rejoice.
VERSE 3
Uphold me in the doubtful race,
Nor suffer me again to stray,
Strengthen my feet with steady pace
Still to press forward in Thy way;
My soul and flesh, O Lord of might
Fill, satiate, with Thy heav'nly light
VERSE 4
Thee will I love, my joy, my crown,
Thee will I love, my Lord, my God
Thee will I love, beneath Thy frown,
Or smile, Thy sceptre, or Thy rod;
What though my flesh and heart decay?
Thee shall I love in endless day!
