Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Hymnal: RITL1985 #454 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 5:8 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:
Lord, let thy love my heart inflame.
12 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;
my ev'ry 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 Still let thy love point out my way,
how wondrous things thy love hath wrought;
still lead me lest I go astray;
direct my word, inspire mythogut;
and if I fall, soon may I hear
thy voice, and know that love is near. Topics: Faith and Aspiration Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE
