I Would Love Thee, God And Father,
My Redeemer, And My King;
I Would Love Thee, For Without Thee
Life Is But A Bitter Thing.

I Would Love Thee; Every Blessing
Flows To Me From Out Thy Throne;
I Would Love Thee; He Who Loves Thee
Never Feels Himself Alone.

I Would Love Thee; Look Upon Me,
Ever Guide Me With Thine Eye;
I Would Love Thee; If Not Nourished
By Thy Love, My Soul Would Die.

I Would Love Thee, I Have Vowed It
On Thy Love My Heart Is Set;
While I Love Thee I Will Never
My Redeemer’s Blood Forget.
