The New English Hymnal 411. My Lord, my Life, my Love

The New English Hymnal‎#411

1 My Lord, my Life, my Love,
To thee, to thee I call;
I cannot live if thou remove:
Thou art my joy, my all.

2 My only sun to cheer
The darkness where I dwell;
The best and only true delight
My song hath found to tell.

3 To thee in very heaven
The angels owe their bliss;
To thee the saints, whom thou has called
Where perfect pleasure is.

4 And how shall man, thy child,
Without thee happy be,
Who hath no comfort nor desire
In all the world but thee?

5 Return my Love, my Life,
Thy grace hath won my heart;
If thou forgive, if thou return,
I will no more depart.
