O Jesus, when I think of Thee

Verse 1

O Jesus, when I think of thee, thy manger, cross, and throne, my spirit trusts exultingly in thee, and thee alone.

Verse 2

I see thee in thy weakness first; then, glorious from thy shame, I see thee death's strong fetters burst and reach heav'n's mightiest name.

Verse 3

O let me share thy holy birth, thy faith, thy death to sin, and, strong amidst the toils of earth, my heav'nly life begin.

Verse 4

Then shall I know what means the strain triumphant of Saint Paul, “To live is Christ, to die is gain: Christ is my All in all!”
