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?
2 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,
Since Thy voice my heart hath entered,
I from all things could but sever;
3 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,
At Thy feet cast all my hard'nings,
And return with songs and singings;
4 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,
Though in tears while I'm obeying,
Yet I would not change my standing;
5 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,
When Thy presence does depart,
6 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,
7 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,
Who like Thee — so fair and comely?
Who like Thee — so sweet and lovely?
