Lyrics

1. Thee will I love, my strength forever; Thee will I love, Thou art my grace! Thee will I love in all endeavour, through all temptations which I face. Thee will I love, my light Thou art, with all my yearning heart.
2. Ah, that so late I came to know Thee, exalted, wondrous beauty, Thou! That I not sooner did confess Thee and found Thy true rest only now. This is my deep regret and grief, so late I found relief!
3. I went astray in deep confusion; I searched, but nowhere could Thee sight. I turned from Thee in my delusion and loved the garish worldly light. But now through Thee it's been achieved: Thy love I have perceived!
4. I give Thee thanks, Thou true Sun given, that light to me Thy splendour brought. I give Thee thanks, Thou bliss from heaven, who joy for me, and freedom, wrought. I give Thee thanks, O Word so pure, that Thou my ills doth cure.
5. Thee will I love, my crown and splendour, Thee will I love, my Lord, my God. My heart to Thee, Lord, I will render in times of joy or painful lot. Thee will I love, my crown Thou art, thus beats my yearning heart.
