Jesu, my Lord

Jesu, my Lord, my God, my All,
Hear me, blessed Saviour, when I call;
Hear me and from your dwelling-place,
Pour down the riches of your grace:

Jesu, my Lord, I you adore,
O help me love you more and more.

Jesu, too late your love I've sought,
How can I love you as I ought?
And how extol your matchless fame,
The glorious beauty of your name?

Jesu, my Lord, I you adore,
O help me love you more and more.

Jesu, what did you find in me,
That you have dealt so lovingly?
How great the joy that you have brought,
So far exceeding hope or thought!

Jesu, my Lord, I you adore,
O help me love you more and more.
