<p>Jesus, Thy boundless love to me<br>
No thought can reach, no tongue declare;<br>
Unite my thankful heart with Thee<br>
And reign without a rival there.<br>
To Thee alone, dear Lord, I live;<br>
Myself to Thee, dear Lord, I give.</p>
<p>O, grant that nothing in my soul<br>
May dwell but Thy pure love alone!<br>
Oh, may Thy love possess me whole,<br>
My joy, my treasure, and my crown!<br>
All coldness from my heart remove;<br>
My every act, word, thought, be love.</p>
<p>O love, how cheering is thy ray!<br>
All pain before thy presence flies;<br>
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away<br>
Wherever thy healing beams arise.<br>
O Jesus, nothing may I see,<br>
Nothing desire or seek, but Thee!</p>
<p>This love unwearied I pursue<br>
And dauntlessly to Thee aspire.<br>
Oh, may Thy love my hope renew<br>
Burn in my soul like heavenly fire!<br>
And day and night be all my care<br>
To guard this sacred treasure there.</p>
<p>My Savior, Thou Thy love to me<br>
In shame, in want, in pain, hast showed;<br>
For me, on the accursed tree,<br>
Thou purest forth Thy guiltless blood;<br>
Thy wounds upon my heart impress,<br>
Nor aught shall the loved stamp efface.</p>
<p>More hard than marble is my heart,<br>
And foul with sins of deepest stain;<br>
But Thou the mighty Savior art,<br>
Nor flowed thy cleansing blood in vain;<br>
Ah soften, melt this rock, and may<br>
Thy blood wash all these stains away!</p>
<p>O that I, as a little child,<br>
May follow Thee, and never rest<br>
Till sweetly Thou hast breathed Thy mild<br>
And lowly mind into my breast!<br>
Nor ever may we parted be,<br>
Till I become as one with Thee.</p>
<p>Still let Thy love point out my war;<br>
How wondrous things Thy love hath wrought!<br>
Still lead me, lest I go astray;<br>
Direct my word, inspire my thought;<br>
And if I fall, soon may I hear<br>
Thy voice, and know that love is near.</p>
<p>In suffering be Thy love my peace,<br>
In weakness be Thy love my power;<br>
And when the storms of life shall cease,<br>
Jesus, in that important hour,<br>
In death as life be Thou my guide,<br>
And save me, Who for me hast died.</p>
