Laudis Corona ‎#162b

162b. Jesus, my Lord, my God

1 Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,
How can I love Thee as I ought?
And how revere this wondrous Gift,
So far surpassing hope or thought.

Chorus:
Sweet Sacrament! we Thee adore,
Oh! make us love Thee more and more,
Oh, make us love Thee more and more.

2 Had I but Mary's sinless heart
To love Thee with, my dearest King!
Oh, with what bursts of fervent praise
Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing! [Chorus]

3 Oh, see! within a creature's hand
The vast Creator deigns to be,
Reposing, infant-like, as though
On Joseph's arm, or Mary's knee. [Chorus]

4 Thy Body, Soul, and Godhead, all!
O mystery of love divine!
I cannot compass all I have,
For all Thou hast and art are mine! [Chorus]
