Lyrics:

Do not I love Thee, O my Lord?

Behold my heart and see, 

And turn each cursed idol out,

That dares to rival Thee.


Do I not love Thee from my soul?

Then let me nothing love;

Dead be my heart to ev'ry joy

When Jesus cannot move.


Thou know'st I love Thee, dearest Lord,

But O I long to soar

Far from the sphere of mortal joys,

And learn to love Thee more.

Philip Doddridge
