This hymn was written by Elizabeth Prentiss. (1818 - 1878) Space here on my RU-vid page does not permit a discussion of the deep and different meanings of the word translated 'love' in the Bible. Let me just point you to a short story in Matthew 22:36-40. Jesus was asked "What is the greatest of all the commandments in the Old Testament Law?" He replied, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."
Find time to get alone with the Lord and let Him know you love Him. He will surely let you know how much He loves you. Maybe at the end of the day when you pillow your head, just closing your eyes and thinking about His love and care for you, will build you up and help you to love Him more.
