Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all - Frederick William Faber

Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,
How can I love Thee as I ought?
And how revere this wond'rous gift,
So far surpassing hope or thought.
Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore.
O make us love Thee more and more!
Make us love Thee more and more!
Had I but Mary's sinless heart,
To love Thee as my dearest King;
O with what bursts of fervent praise
Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing!
Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore.
O make us love Thee more and more!
Make us love Thee more and more!
Oh, see upon the altar placed,
The Victim of divinest love!
Let all the earth below adore,
And join the choirs of heaven above.
Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore.
O make us love Thee more and more!
Make us love Thee more and more!

"Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All";
Artist: The Cathedral Singers, Richard Proulx (conductor);
Father Frederick William Faber wrote numerous hymns,
