1. O Jesus, Jesus, dearest Lord!
  Forgive me if I say,
  For very love, Thy sacred name
  A thousand times a day.
  
  O Jesus, Lord, with me abide;
  I rest in Thee, whate'er betide;
  Thy gracious smile is my reward;
  I love, I love Thee, Lord!
  
2. I love Thee so I know not how
  My transports to control;
  Thy love is like a burning fire
  Within my very soul.
  
  O Jesus, Lord, with me abide;
  I rest in Thee, whate'er betide;
  Thy gracious smile is my reward;
  I love, I love Thee, Lord!
  
3. For Thou to me art all in all;
  My honor and my wealth;
  My heart's desire, my body's strength,
  My soul's eternal health.
  
  O Jesus, Lord, with me abide;
  I rest in Thee, whate'er betide;
  Thy gracious smile is my reward;
  I love, I love Thee, Lord!
  
4. Burn, burn, O love, within my heart,
  Burn fiercely night and day,
  Till all the dross of earthly loves
  Is burned, and burned away.
  
  O Jesus, Lord, with me abide;
  I rest in Thee, whate'er betide;
  Thy gracious smile is my reward;
  I love, I love Thee, Lord!
  
5. O light in darkness, joy in grief,
  O heaven's life on earth;
  Jesus, my love, my treasure, who
  Can tell what Thou art worth?
  
  O Jesus, Lord, with me abide;
  I rest in Thee, whate'er betide;
  Thy gracious smile is my reward;
  I love, I love Thee, Lord!
  
6. What limit is there to this love?
  Thy flight, where wilt Thou stay?
  On, on! our Lord is sweeter far
  Today than yesterday.
  
  O Jesus, Lord, with me abide;
  I rest in Thee, whate'er betide;
  Thy gracious smile is my reward;
  I love, I love Thee, Lord!
