Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XCIII (1766) Topics: Blessedness only in God Lyrics: 1 My God, my Life, my Love,
To Thee, to Thee I call;
I cannot live, if thou remove,
For thou art All in All.
[2 Thy shining Grace can chear
This Dungeon where I dwell:
'Tis Paradise when thou art here;
If thou depart, 'tis Hell.]
[3 The Smilings of thy Face,
How amiable they are!
'Tis Heav'n to rest in thine Embrace,
And no where else but there.]
[4 To Thee, and Thee alone,
The Angels owe their Bliss;
They sit around thy gracious Throne,
And dwell where Jesus is.]
[5 Not all the Harps above
Can make a heav'nly Place,
If God his Residence remove,
Or but conceal his Face.]
6 Nor Earth, nor all the sky,
Can one Delight afford,
No, not a Drop of real Joy
Without thy Presence, Lord.
[7 Thou art the Sea of Love,
Where all my Pleasures roll,
The Circle where my Passions move,
And Center of my Soul.
[8 To Thee my Spirits fly
With infinite Desire,
And yet how far from Thee I lie!
Dear Jesus, raise me higher. Languages: English
My God, my Life, my Love
