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! |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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! |

Very strong words here. Sometimes we go through difficult times but the good part is that God is still with us, His love is so deep.
