Wartburg Hymnal ‎#271

271. O pow'r of love, all else transcending

1 O pow'r of love, all else transcending,
In Jesus present evermore,
I worship Thee, in homage bending,
And sing of Thy celestial lore:
Yea, let my soul, in deep devotion,
Bathe in love's mighty boundless ocean.

2 Thou art my rest, no earthly treasure
Can satisfy my yearning heart,
And naught can give to me the pleasure
I find in Thee, my chosen part.
Thy love, so tender and caressing,
Is joy to me, and every blessing.

3 To Thee my heart and life be given,
Thou art in truth my highest Good;
For me Thy sacred side was riven,
For me was shed Thy precious blood.
O thou who art the world's salvation,
Be Thine my love and adoration.
