Not for the hope of winning heav'n, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught, Not seeking a reward; But solely for Thy love to me, O ever-loving Lord? 6 E’en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing, Alone because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.

Every soul that God inspires, Back to Him, its Source, aspires. 3 Heavenward! doth His Spirit cry, Oft as in His word I hear Him; Pointing to the rest on high Where I shall be ever near Him. When His Word fills all my thought, Oft to heaven my soul is caught. 4 Heavenward still I long to haste, When Thy Supper, Lord, is given; Heavenly strength on earth I taste, Feeding on the Bread of Heaven; Such is e'en on earth our fare, Who Thy marriage feast will share. 5 Heavenward! To that blessed home Death at last will surely lead me; All my trials overcome, Christ with life and joy will feed me; Who Himself hath gone before That we too might heavenward soar. 6 Heavenward! This shall be my cry While a pilgrim here I wander, Passing earth's allurements by For the love of what is yonder; Heavenward all my being tends, Till in Heaven my journey ends.

The Sun that looks with pleasure On me is Christ my King; The glory beyond measure That waits me, makes me sing. Languages: English Tune Title: CRUCIFIX

The narrow way how filled with pain, That I must pass ere heav'n I gain! How hard to teach this flesh and blood To seek alone th'eternal good! 2 Ah whither now for comfort turn? For Thee, my Jesus, do I yearn; In Thee have I, howe'er distrest, Found ever counsel, aid, and rest; I cannot all forsaken be While still my heart can trust in Thee. 3 Jesus, my only God and Lord, What sweetness in Thy name is stored! So dark and hopeless is no grief But Thy sweet name can bring relief, So keen no sorrows' rankling dart But Thy sweet Name can heal my heart. 4 Jesus, my Boast, my Light, my Joy, The Treasure nought can e'er destroy, No words, no song that I can frame Speak half the sweetness of Thy Name: They only all its power shall prove Whose hearts have learnt Thy faith and love. 5 Jesus, my Bridegroom and my Crown, If Thou but smile the world may frown, In Thee lie depths of joy untold, Far richer than her richest gold; Whene'er I do but think of Thee, Thy dews drop down and solace me; 6 Let me this flesh and blood control, From sin and shame preserve my soul, And keep me steadfast in the faith, Then I am Thine in life and death: Jesus, Consoler, bend to me! Ah would I were e'en now with Thee! Languages: English Tune Title: ACH GOTT UND HERR
