Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
No thought can reach, no tongue declare:
O knit my thankful heart to Thee
And reign without a rival there;
Thine wholly, Thine alone I'd live,
myself to Thee entirely give.
O, 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.
O Love, how gracious is Thy way!
All fear before Thy presence flies;
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away
Where’er Thy healing beams arise.
O Jesus, nothing may I see,
And naught desire or seek, but Thee!
In suffering be Thy love my peace,
In weakness be Thy love my power;
And when the storms of life shall cease,
then Jesus in that holy hour,
In death as life be Thou my guide,
And save me, who for me hast died!
