1 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 am;
Lord, with Thy love my heart inflame.

2 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.

3 O Love, how cheering is Thy ray!
All pain 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.

4 In suffering be Thy love my peace,
In weakness be Thy love my power;
And when the storms of life shall cease,
Jesus, in that important hour,
In death, as life, be Thou my Guide,
And save me, who for me hast died.
