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 Thy works, and Thee alone;

Thee will I love, till the pure fire

Fill my whole soul with chaste desire.

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.

Uphold me in the doubtful face,

Nor suffer me again to stray

Strengthen my feet with steady pace

Still to press forward in Thy way,

My soul and flesh, O Lord of might,

Fill, satiate, with Thy heav’nly light

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!
