The Cyber Hymnal ‎#5021

5021. O Jesus, When I Think of Thee

1. O Jesus, when I think of Thee,
Thy manger, cross, and throne,
My spirit trusts exultingly
In Thee, and Thee alone.

2. For me Thou didst become a man,
For me didst weep and die;
For me achieve Thy wondrous plan
For me ascend on high.

3. O let me share Thy holy birth,
Thy faith, Thy death to sin;
And strong, amidst the toils of earth,
My heavenly life begin.

4. 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.
