369  LONGINGS — For Love to Christ

1. Let me love Thee, Thou art claiming
  Every feeling of my soul;
  Let that love in pow'r prevailing,
  Render Thee my life, my all;
  For life's burdens they are easy,
  And life's sorrows lose their sting,
  If they're carried, Lord, to please Thee,
  If their pain Thy smile should win.
(Chorus:)
  Let me love Thee, Savior,
  Take my heart forever;
  Nothing but Thy favor
  My soul can satisfy.
2. Let me love Thee, come revealing
  All Thy love has done for me;
  Help my heart, so unbelieving,
  By the sight of Calvary:
  Let me see Thy love despising
  All the shame my sins had brought;
  By Thy torments realizing
  What a price my pardon bought.
3. Let me love Thee, I am gladdest
  When I'm loving Thee, the best;
  For in sunshine or in sadness
  I can find in Thee a rest;
  But without Thee life is fading,
  Treasureless its choicest flowers;
  Taken are its gifts eternal;
  Left, its empty passing hours.
(Chorus:)
  Let me love Thee, Savior,
  Take my heart forever;
  Nothing but Thy favor
  My soul can satisfy.
4. Let me love Thee, love is mighty,
  Swaying realms of deed and thought;
  By it I shall walk uprightly,
  I shall serve Thee as I ought:
  Love will soften every sorrow,
  Love will lighten every care,
  Love unquestioning will follow,
  Love will triumph, love will dare.
