My God, I love You, not because
I hope for heaven thereby
Nor yet for fear that loving not
I might forever die
But for that You did all mankind
Upon the cross embrace
For us did bear the nails and spear
And manifold disgrace

But for that You did all mankind
Upon the cross embrace
For us did bear the nails and spear
And manifold disgrace

And griefs and torments numberless
And sweat of agony
Even death itself, and all for man
Who was Your enemy
Then why, most loving Jesus Christ
Should I not love You well?
Not for the sakе of winning heav'n
Nor any fear of hell

Not with thе hope of gaining all
Not seeking a reward
But as You first have loved me
O ever loving Lord
Even so I love You, and will love
And in Thy praise will sing
Solely because You are my God
And my eternal King
You are my eternal King
Solely because You are my God
And my eternal King
