159. My God, my Life, my Love

1 My God, my life, my love,
To Thee, to Thee I call.
Oh! come to me, from heav'n above,
And be my God, my All,
And be my God, my All.

2 My faith beholds Thee, Lord!
Concealed in human food;
My senses fail, but in Thy word
I trust, and find my God.

3 Oh, when wilt Thou be mine,
Sweet lover of my soul?
My Jesus dear, my King divine,
Come o'er my heart to rule.

4 Oh! come and fix Thy throne,
Within my very heart,
Oh! make it burn for Thee alone,
And from me ne'er depart.

5 Begone, ye, from my mind,
Vain, childish, earthly toys!
In Jesus only do I find
True pleasures, solid joys.
