Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9367 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, my life, my love,
To Thee, to Thee I call;
I cannot live if Thou remove,
For Thou art all in all.
2 Thy shining grace can cheer
This dungeon where I dwell;
’Tis paradise when Thou art here;
If Thou depart, ’tis hell.
3 The smilings of Thy face,
How amiable they are!
’Tis heav’n to rest in Thine embrace,
And no where else but there.
4 To Thee, and Thee alone,
The angels owe their bliss;
They sit around Thy gracious throne,
And dwell where Jesus is.
5 Not all the harps above
Could make a heav’nly place,
If God His residence remove,
Or but conceal His face.
6 Nor earth, nor all the sky,
Can one delight afford,
No, not a drop of real joy,
Without Thy presence, Lord.
7 Thou art the sea of love,
Where all my pleasures roll:
The circle where my passions move,
And center of my soul.
8 To Thee my spirits fly
With infinite desire;
And yet how far from Thee I lie!
