VERSE 1
We love Thee, Lord; yet not alone, because Thy bounteous hand
Showers down its rich and ceaseless gifts.
On ocean and on land;
We praise Thee, gracious Lord, for these,
Yet not for these alone
The incense of Thy children's love
Arises to Thy throne.
VERSE 2
We love Thee, Lord, because when we had err'd and gone astray,
Thou didst recall our wandering souls into the heavenward way,
When helpless, hopeless, we were lost in sin and sorrow's night
A guiding ray was granted us
From Thy pure fount of light.
VERSE 3
Because, O Lord, Thou lovedst us
With everlasting love,
And sentest forth Thy Son to die
That we might live above;
Because, when we were heirs of wrath,
Thou gavest hopes of heaven;
We love because we much have sinn'd,
And much have been forgiven.
