O Jesus, When I Think of Thee

O Je­sus

when I think of Thee

Thy man­ger

cross

and throne

My spir­it trusts ex­ult­ing­ly

In Thee

and Thee alone.

For me Thou didst be­come a man

For me didst weep and die;

For me achieve Thy won­drous plan

For me as­cend on high.

O let me share Thy ho­ly birth

Thy faith

Thy death to sin;

And strong

amidst the toils of earth

My heav­en­ly life be­gin.

Then shall I know what means the strain

Triumphant of Saint Paul:

To live is Christ

to die is gain;

Christ is my All in all.
