Jesus, my love, my chief delight
Author: Anon. Appears in 55 hymnals Matching Instances: 54 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my love, my chief delight,
For thee I long, for thee I pray,
Amid the shadows of the night,
Amid the business of the day.
2 When shall I see thy smiling face,
That face which I have often seen?
Arise, thou Sun of Righteousness,
Scatter the clouds that intervene.
3 Thou art the glorious Gift of God
To sinners weary and distressed;
The first of all his gifts bestowed,
And certain pledge of all the rest.
4 Since I can say this gift of mine,
I'll tread the world beneath my feet,
No more at poverty repine,
Nor envy the rich sinner's state.
5 The precious jewel I will keep,
And lodge it deep within my heart;
At home, abroad, awake, asleep,
It never shall from thence depart. Topics: Worship Adoration of Christ Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Jesus, my love, my chief delight" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
