1158 Dear Lord Jesus, Precious Jesus

Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,

Thou hast won each love from me;

Who like Thee - so fair and comely?

Who like Thee - so sweet and lovely?

Matchless One, unrivaled beauty,

None can e'er compete with Thee!

2 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,

Gladly will I hear Thy call;

Since Thy voice my heart hath entered,

I from all things could but sever;

Void are all my other seekings,

Every pride hath disappeared.

3 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,

How can I still stubborn be?

At Thy feet cast all my hard'nings,

And return with songs and singings;

"Tis my love to be Thy bondslave,

"Tis my joy to Thee obey.

4 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,

Thy way only will I choose;

Though in tears while I'm obeying,

Yet I would not change my standing;

All I long for is Thy pleasure,

And the peace Thy love would bring.

5 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,

When Thy presence does depart,

Seems the dawn has lost its traces,

Hidden are my smiling faces;

All I yearn for is Thy coming

And Thy presence* sweet embrace.

6 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,

Can I tell it all to Thee?

'Thou my love and satisfaction,

Thou my everlasting portion;

Thou art all that I desire,

Nothing else I would pursue.

7 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,

All I have I give to Thee;

Who like Thee - so fair and comely?

Who like Thee - so sweet and lovely?

Matchless One, unrivaled beauty,

None can e'er compete with Thee!
