<p>O God, of good the unfathomed Sea!<br>
|
|
Who would not give his heart to Thee?<br>
|
|
Who would not love Thee with his might?<br>
|
|
O Jesus, Lover of mankind,<br>
|
|
Who would not his whole soul and mind,<br>
|
|
With all his strength, to Thee unite?</p>
|
|
<p>High throned upon heaven’s eternal hill,<br>
|
|
In number, weight, and measure still<br>
|
|
Thou sweetly orderest all that is:<br>
|
|
And yet Thou deign’st to come to me,<br>
|
|
And guide my steps, that I, with Thee<br>
|
|
Enthroned, may reign in endless bliss.</p>
|
|
<p>Fountain of good, al blessing flows,<br>
|
|
From Thee; no want Thy fullness knows;<br>
|
|
What but Thyself canst Thou desire?<br>
|
|
Yet, self-sufficient as Thou art,<br>
|
|
Thou dost desire my worthless heart;<br>
|
|
This, only this, dost Thou require.</p>
|
|
<p>O God, of good the unfathomed Sea!<br>
|
|
Who would not give his heart to Thee?<br>
|
|
Who would not love Thee with his might?<br>
|
|
O Jesus, Lover of mankind,<br>
|
|
Who would not his whole soul and mind,<br>
|
|
With all his strength, to Thee unite?</p>
