[Thou know'st, that now I love Thee not]

Thou knowest that I love Thee. —xxi. 16.

Thou know'st, that now I love Thee not:
Thou know'st that Thee I long to love:
And Thou for me the power hast bought,
And wilt the cursed thing remove,
The sin with which I would not part,
Which keeps Thy love out of my heart.
Thy zeal to save my ransom'd soul
This thing impossible shall do,

125

And all my love of sin control,
Till love Divine my heart renew,
And force my joyful lips to own
I love Thee, Lord, and Thee alone!
