Verse 1

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no
tongue declare; Unite my thankful heart with Thee And
reign without a rival there. To Thee alone, dear
Lord, I live; Myself to Thee, dear Lord, I give.

Verse 2

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; My every act, word, thought, be love.

Verse 3

O love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy
presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away Where'er
e'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing
may I see, Nothing desire or seek, but Thee!

Verse 4

This love unwearied I pursue And dauntlessly to
Thee aspire. Oh, may Thy love my hope renew Burn
in my soul like heav'nly fire! And day and night be
all my care To guard this sacred treasure there.

Verse 5

My Savior, Thou Thy love to me In shame, in want, in
pain, hast showed; For me, on the accursed tree, Thou
pourest forth Thy guiltless blood; Thy wounds upon my
heart impress, Nor aught shall the lov'd stamp efface.
