Jesus LCrd, my best love Thou aEm
Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Thou hast fFlly captured my hC
Thou hast fully captured my heart;
There is nFne in heav'n nor on eCrth lEm
There is none in heav'n nor on earth like
TAm
Thee,
With Thy bDmuty none can compG
With Thy beauty none can compete.
When Thy vCice first came to my eEm
When Thy voice first came to my ear,
Whisp'ring iF my heart words most dC
Whisp'ring in my heart words most dear,
All past loFes and aims lost their cCarm fEm
All past loves and aims lost their charm for
All my bDmsts so vain now apG
All my boasts so vain now appear.

Throughout aCl the world, who compE
Throughout all the world, who compares

with Thee?
Who so fAml of worth, who so fEm
Who so full of worth, who so fair and

sweet?
Only TFou art worthy my lCve tEmwAm
Only Thou art worthy my love to win,
O Lord JFsus, hDm I love TG
O Lord Jesus, how I love Thee!

No more ICwho live, no more sE
No more I who live, no more self-

deceived,
No more iAmthe self’s world indEm
No more in the self’s world indulged to be,
Deep withiF I know You're my oClEmloAm
Deep within I know You're my only love,
My best lFve is nGne else but TC
My best love is none else but Thee!

Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Rid all rocks that hide in my heart;
Gladly I Thy bondslave of love would be,
One heart, one will ever with Thee.
Though my heart is oft not subdued,
Still Thy way alone it would choose;
All I yearn for is what Thy heart desires,
In Thy love alone peace I find.

Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Ne’er again from Thee I’d depart;
Never hide Thy dear, smiling face from me.
To none else I'd cling, Lord, but Thee.
To Thee, Lord, my all I outpour,
How Thy love my heart deeply fills,
My eternal portion, most precious Lord,
None but Thee I want evermore.
