Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,
Thou hast won each love from me;
Who like Thee—so fair and comely?
Who like Thee—so sweet and lovely?
Matchless One, unrivaled beauty,
None can e’er compete with Thee!

Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,
Gladly will I hear Thy call;
Since Thy voice my heart hath entered,
I from all things could but sever;
Void are all my other seekings,
Every pride hath disappeared.

Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,
How can I still stubborn be?
At Thy feet cast all my hard’nings,
And return with songs and singings;
’Tis my love to be Thy bondslave,
’Tis my joy to Thee obey.

Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,
Thy way only will I choose;
Though in tears while I’m obeying,
Yet I would not change my standing;
All I long for is Thy pleasure,
And the peace Thy love would bring.

Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,
When Thy presence does depart,
Seems the dawn has lost its traces,
Hidden are my smiling faces;
All I yearn for is Thy coming
And Thy presence’ sweet embrace.

Hidden are my smiling faces;
All I yearn for is Thy coming

Nothing else I would pursue.

It is interesting that my feeling for this song has evolved since looking at my comment in 2017. I still enjoy singing it. But I have to say it has a bittersweetness that I had not appreciated before, almost like « yes I love You Lord, but you will require difficult things from me », or « I love you so much, let me make the effort to put away the other things in my life », rather than the joyfulness of « wow I can’t believe how great you are, the joy just never quits, everything else faded!!! » that you find in a hymn like « blessed assurance » or « how sweet the name of Jesus sounds » by John newton. I believe the Lord appreciates it, as the Holy Spirit brought it to my heart this am, focusing on the intimacy with Jesus it implies, rather than any call to « tears while I’m obeying ». For this contradicts Jesus: « my yoke is easy, my burden is light » and Paul « he works the willing AND THE WORKING in us » in Philippians. If the call is not easy, I am usually putting something on myself the Lord has not asked.
