J Scheffler; J Wesley, Tr. (460/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

J Scheffler; J Wesley, Tr. THEE will I love, my strength, my tower, Thee will I love, my joy, my crown, Thee will I love with all my power In all my works and Thee alone, Thee will I love ’til sacred fire Fills my whole soul with pure desire. 2 I thank Thee uncreated Sun That Thy bright beams on me have shined; I thank Thee, who hast overthrown My foes, and healed my wounded mind: I thank Thee whose enlivening voice Bids my freed heart in Thee rejoice. 3 Uphold me in the doubtful race, Nor suffer me again to stray; Strengthen my feet with steady pace Still to press forward in Thy way: That all my powers with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite. 4 Thee will I love, my joy, my crown; Thee will I love, my Lord, my God; Thee will I love, beneath Thy frown Or smile, Thy sceptre or Thy rod; What though my flesh and heart decay, Thee shall I love in endless day.
