Jesu, my God, my Joy, my All

(one verse introduction)

Jesu, my God, my Joy, my All,
hear me, blest Savior, when I call;
hear me, and from your dwelling place
pour down the riches of your grace.

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

Jesu, too late I you have sought.
How can I love you as I ought?
And how extol your matchless fame,
the holy beauty of your Name?

Jesu, my God, 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 wordand thought.

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

Jesu, you are my Joy, my song,
to you my heartand soul belong.
To you all that I have I bind
into your mercy sweet and kind.

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