Author: Johann Scheffler (Angelus Silesius); John Christian Jacobi Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #286 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thine image Thou hast lent me,
In Thy never-fading Love;
I was fallen, Thou wast sent me,
My redemption from above.
Sacred Love, I long to be
Thine to all eternity!
2 Love, Thou hast for me enduréd
All the pain of death and hell;
Nay, Thy sufferings have procuréd
More for me than tongue can tell:
Love almighty and divine,
I would be for ever Thine!
3 Love, my Life, and my Salvation,
Light and Truth, eternal Word!
Thou alone dost consolation
To my sinking soul afford.
Sacred Love, I long to be
Thine to all eternity!
4 Love, in mercy, Thou wilt raise me
From the grave of sin and dust;
Love, I shall for ever praise Thee,
When in heaven among the just;
Love almighty and divine,
May I be forever Thine! Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer; Sunday after Christmas; Quinquagesima; Sixth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE EVERLASTING (Liebe, die du mich zum Bilde)
