O Blessèd Savior, Lord of Love

Composer: Maltbie Babcock, 1899

O bless­èd Sav­ior

Lord of love

Leaving for us Thy home ab­ove

How can we show our love to Thee

When Thy dear face we can­not see?

Smile with the glad

grieve with the sad

Gentle

and thought­ful

and lov­ing be;

Friendly in need

and kind in deed;

I count it all as done to Me.

All of our gifts have come from Heav­en

Our home and friends Thy love has giv­en;

If we could see Thy bless­èd face

How should we thank Thee for Thy grace?

Heathen upon the dist­ant shore

Hungry and needy at our door

Sinning and suf­fer­ing ev­ery­where

Thou hast com­mit­ted to our care.

Humbly we thank Thee

bless­èd Lord

For this the com­fort of Thy word

When thou a lov­ing deed dost see

Lo

ye have done it un­to Me.
