Thee Will I Love, My God and King

Verse 1

Thee will I love, my God and King; thee will I sing, my strength and tower; forevermore thee will I trust, O God most just of truth and power, who all things hast in order placed, yea, for thy pleasure hast created; and on thy throne, unseen, unknown, reignest alone in glory seated.

Verse 2

Set in my heart thy love I find; my wand'ring mind to thee thou leadest; my trembling hope, my strong desire with heav'nly fire thou kindly feedest. Lo, all things fair thy path prepare; thy beauty to my spirit calleth, thine to remain, in joy or pain, and count it gain whate'er befalleth.

Verse 3

O more and more thy love extend, my life befriend with heav'nly pleasure, that I may win thy Paradise, thy pearl of price, thy countless treasure. Since but in thee I can go free from earthly care and vain oppression, this prayer I make for Jesus' sake, that thou me take in thy possession.
