HYMN FOR LENT I Lord, Thee I Love with All my Heart
German: Herzlich lieb hab' ich dich, o Herr Text: Martin Schalling (1532-1608) Tune: B. Schmid 1577 1 Lord, Thee I love with all my heart; I pray Thee, ne'er from me depart, With tender mercy cheer me. Earth has no pleasure I would share, Yea, heav'n itself were void and bare If Thou, Lord, wert not near me. And should my heart for sorrow break, My trust in Thee can nothing shake. Thou art the portion I have sought; Thy precious blood my soul has bought. Lord Jesus Christ,
