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.
