Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Thou hast fully captured my heart;
None compares with Thee, none on earth or heav’n,
God yet man, most beautiful One!
How I longed to vanish in Thee
When Thy tender voice came to me.
All past loves forsaking most joyfully,
I’d just love Thee — wholeheartedly.
Thou hast fully captured my heart;
None compares with Thee, none on earth or heav’n,
God yet man, most beautiful One!
How I longed to vanish in Thee
When Thy tender voice came to me.
All past loves forsaking most joyfully,
I’d just love Thee — wholeheartedly.
Who in all the world is as fair as Thee?
Or who else can love so romantic’ly?
Oh, most holy One, now You live in me!
Jesus Lord, I deeply love Thee!
No more trusting self, nor deceived I’d be;
I’d put off my self, just be filled with Thee;
Oh, let all apart from Thee fade and flee;
My one love, my best love, is Thee.
Or who else can love so romantic’ly?

Jesus Lord, I deeply love Thee!
No more trusting self, nor deceived I’d be;
I’d put off my self, just be filled with Thee;
Oh, let all apart from Thee fade and flee;
My one love, my best love, is Thee.

Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art;
I was once rebellious and hard,
But I drop it all now to come to Thee,
Self forsake, that like Thee I’d be.
When I live, be it Thou, I pray,
Not self’s will, but God’s I’d obey;
To Thine heart attuned, Thy delight I’d seek;
No more struggling, fully at peace.

Not self’s will, but God’s I’d obey;
To Thine heart attuned, Thy delight I’d seek;
No more struggling, fully at peace.

Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art;
We two never, ever will part;
Thy dear presence is all my breath and might;
Thy dear smile is all my delight.
I would pour my heart out to Thee,
Love Thee, serve Thee, joined utterly;
My eternal portion, dear Lord, is Thee;
My one hope, Thy coming to see.

My eternal portion, dear Lord, is Thee;
My one hope, Thy coming to see.

A very sweet and precious love song to our dear Lord Jesus. It surely deepens our love, appreciation, adoration, and intimate experience of Him.

This hymn is so great. It refreshes my love to the Lord. I also love to sing it in Cebuano if there is a translation in the hymnal.net...

1. Tuhan Yesus Kau kasihku, Kau rebut s’luruh hatiku.
Sia-pa s’perti Kau, yang cantik sungguh.
Tak satu pun tandingi-Mu.
Saat ku dengar sua-ra-Mu, berbisik dalam hatiku.
Tersingkir se-mua, pen-ca-ri-an-ku,
Hilang s’mua bangga diriku.
Koor :
Sia-pa s’perti Kau yang cantik sungguh.
Sia-pa s’perti Kau yang manis sungguh.
Kau berhak dapatkan s’mua cintaku.
Tuhan Yesus ku cinta-Mu.
Tak lagi tertipu p’rasaanku.
Tak lagi percaya si-tua-si-ku.
Ku hanya tahu mengasihi-Mu.
Tuhan Yesus ku cinta-Mu
2. Tuhan Yesus, Kau kasihku,
Ku buang s’mua lega hatiku.
Ku suka jadi budak cinta-Mu.
Ku senang menaati-Mu.
Ku tetap pilih jalan-Mu.
Meski sulit ta-at-i-Mu.
Ku hanya dambakan perkenan-Mu.
Cinta-Mu, damai bagiku.
Koor :
Sia-pa s’perti Kau yang cantik sungguh.
Sia-pa s’perti Kau yang manis sungguh.
Kau berhak dapatkan s’mua cintaku.

Tak lagi percaya si-tua-si-ku.
Ku hanya tahu mengasihi-Mu.
Tuhan Yesus ku cinta-Mu
3. Tuhan Yesus, Kau kasihku,
Ku tak-kan meninggalkan-Mu.
Jangan Kau simpan, senyum wajah-Mu.
Ku hanya ma-u hadir-Mu.
Ku ungkap s’mua kepada-Mu.
Kaulah kasih, ke-puas-an-ku.
Hingga kekal Kaulah ba-gi-an-ku.
Ku hanya ma-u di-ri-Mu.
