I Love Thee

Blest be Thy love, dear Lord,

that taught us this sweet way,

Only to love Thee for Thyself,

and for that love obey.

- J. Austin -

 I love Thee, I love Thee, I love Thee, my Lord;

I love Thee, my Savior, I love Thee, my God;

I love Thee, I love Thee, and that Thou dost know;

but how much I love Thee my actions will show.

O Jesus, my Savior, with Thee I am blest,

my life and salvation, my joy and my rest;

Thy name be my theme, and Thy love be my song;

Thy grace shall inspire both my heart and my tongue.

O who's like my Savior? He's heaven's bright King;

He smiles and He loves me and helps me to sing;

I'll praise Him, I'll praise Him with notes loud and clear,

while rivers of pleasure my spirit shall cheer.

{I am unsure of the author of this hymn - do any of you know who wrote it?}

O love the LORD,

all ye his saints.

- Psalm 31:23 -

That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, 

and that thou mayest obey his voice, 

and that thou mayest cleave unto him: 

for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: 

that thou mayest dwell in the land 

which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, 

to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

- Deuteronomy 30:20 -

 And he answering said, 

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, 

and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Luke 10:27 -

We love him,

because he first loved us.

- 1 John 4:19 -

Have a beautiful and blessed Lord's Day, dear ones!
