|  | 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 peach Thy love would bring. | 
|  | 5. | Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus, | 
|  |  | When Thy presence does depart, | 
|  |  | Seems the dawn has lost its trace, | 
|  |  | 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 sweet and comely? | 
|  |  | Who like Thee-so sweet and lovely? | 
|  |  | Matchless One, unrivaled beauty, | 
|  |  | None can e'er compete with Thee! |
