THOU LOVEST ME.

Gracious Saviour let me make,
Neither error nor mistake—
Let me in Thy love abide,
Ever near Thy riven side.

Let me, counting all things dross,
Find my glory in the cross;
Let me daily with Thee talk,
In Thy footsteps daily walk.

I would gladly follow Thee,
For Thou gently leadest me,
Where the pastures green doth grow,
Where the waters stillest flow.

For me is Thy table spread,
And Thou doth anoint my head,
And my cup of joy o'erflows
In the presence of my foes.
