Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus

1
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!

Oh Lord Jesus! Thank You for everything You have for me, I Love You!

The Emollient Glow of the Anointing is strongly on this song, this tune. Such peace and calming of my soul, beautiful so beautiful is the love and peace of the Father. Why fear or be troubled with knowing God's rich love and protection.

Every time I come to this hymn, I am reminded again of the Lord's presence and love for me. His love is so great, that He died on the cross for us. It is lustful to pursue anyone else's love. God's love for us is enough, since it is wider than the ocean and deeper than the sea. Let us love the Lord with our first love!

I love this hymn very much. I first sang it a few weeks ago in a YP meeting. It touched me very very much. Especially I liked this part:

'Tis my love to be Thy bondslave,

'Tis my joy to Thee obey.

Dear LORD JESUS I love YOU very much!

Dear LORD JESUS, PRECIOUS JESUS. This song speaks of how precious You are to us even in our trials and tribulations. Oh Lord Jesus, Precious Jesus how sweet the name oh to call. Oh Lord Jesus, precious Jesus. Thank You Lord we can call on Your precious name. Oh Lord Thou art my everlasting portion, oh matchless one, oh Lord, my love and satisfaction. Oh Lord praise You, for You came to be our portion. You gave all to gain us. Oh Lord by Your mercy and grace may we gain You each day.

Stanza 4 really touched me. The Lord sometimes allows us to shed tears, but we can't help but follow Him and His pleasure. His love constrains us.

This is a precious song to me! I am young and love person. For us saints is to practice the importance of the Lord's love. We should always come to the Lord by, reading the bible, singing a hymn, calling on his name or just praying. By this the Lord will make his home in our heart
