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;
O 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,
Nothing desire, or seek, but thee.
