1 I love my God, but with no love of mine,
For I have none to give;
I love Thee, Lord, but all the love is Thine,
For by Thy life I live.
I am as nothing, and rejoice to be
Emptied, and lost, and swallowed up in Thee.

2 Thou, Lord, alone, art all Thy children need,
And there is none beside:
From Thee the streams of blessedness proceed;
In Thee the blessed abide.
Fountain of life, and all abounding grace,
Our source, our center, and our dwelling place.
