The Voice of Praise ‎#444

444. Jesus hath died that I might live

1 Jesus hath died that I might live,
Might live to God alone;
In him eternal life receive,
And be in spirit one.

2 Saviour, I thank thee for thy grace,
The gift unspeakable;
And wait, with arms of faith t' embrace,
And all thy love to feel.

3 My soul breaks out in strong desire
The perfect bliss to prove;
My longing heart is all on fire
To be dissolved in love.

4 Give me thyself; from every boast--
From every wish set free;
Let all I am in thee be lost,
But give thyself to me.

5 Thy gifts, alas! can not suffice,
Unless thyself be given;
Thy presence makes my paradise,
And where thou art is heaven.
