Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach,no tongue declare ; Oh, knit my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there ! Thine wholly, Thine alone I am ; Lord, with Thy love my heart inflame.
2. Oh, grant that nothing in my soul May dwell,but Thy pure love alone ! Oh, may Thy love possess me whole-- My joy, my treasure, and my crown ! All coldness from my heart remove ; May every act, word, thought, be love.
3. O Love, how cheering is Thy ray ! All pain before Thy presence flies ; Care, anguish,sorrow, melt away, Where'er Thy healing beams arise; O Jesus,nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek,but Thee.
4. In suffering be Thy love my peace ; In weakness be Thy love my power ; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that important hour, In death,as life, be Thou my Guide, And save me who for me hast died.
