Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 348 hymnals 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’d live;
myself to thee entirely give.
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!
All coldness from my heart remove;
may every act, word, thought be love.
3 O Love, how gracious is thy way!
All fear 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. Topics: Commitment; Dedication and Stewardship; Healing; Living in Christ; Love of God for Us Scripture: Psalm 63:1-8 Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE
