Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #347 (1913) Lyrics: 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,
Be Thou alone my constant flame.
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:
Strange fires far from my soul remove;
My 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 Unwearied may I this pursue,
Dauntlessly to the high prize aspire;
Hourly within my soul renew
This holy flame, this heavenly fire;
And day and night be all my care
To guard the sacred treasure there.
5 Still let Thy love point out my way;
What wondrous things Thy love hath wrought!
Still lead me, lest I go astray;
Direct my word, inspire my thought;
And if I fall, soon may I hear
Thy voice, and know that love is near.
6 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.
