565. Compared with Christ, in all beside

1 Compared with Christ, in all beside
No fairer charm I see;
The one thing needful, dearest Lord,
Is to be one with thee.

2 The knowledge of thy dying love
Into my soul convey;
Thyself bestow; for thee alone,
My all-in-all, I pray.

3 Less than thyself will not suffice
My comfort to restore;
More than thyself I cannot have,
And thou canst give no more.

4 Whate’er conforms not to thy love,
O teach me to resign!
I’m rich to all intents of bliss
If thou, O Christ, art mine.
