Zion's Harp ‎#232

232. I wish to love my Saviour more sincerely

1 I wish to love my Saviour more sincerely, And not to grieve Him, who loved me so dearly; For this would bring much grief and much affliction In my direction. 2 What shall I do? My Saviour, do Thou teach me! Let flames of love and pure affection reach me, That I may be immersed with true devotion In love’s deep ocean. 3 Thou cam’st to us from Thy throne in the heavens To bear for us our sins and ev’ry grievance, For us to die and unto all creation To bring salvation. 4 This hast Thou done, Lord, and should I keep silence? O let Thy love constrain me to bear witness That Thou, my Lord and God, hast brought redemption From sin’s oppression! 5 Pour deep into my soul from Zion’s mountain Thy love so pure, a living, flowing fountain, That e’er shall flow from my heart, fresh and vernal, To life eternal! 6 One day shall faith and hope for us be ended; But we shall enter in, by love attended, Thy City fair, Jerusalem in glory, And there adore Thee.
