Love to God

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CXXX (1790) First Line: Of all the joys we mortals know Lyrics: 1 Of all the joys we mortals know, JESUS, thy love exceeds the rest; Love, the best blessing here below, The nearest image of the blest. 2 While we are held in thy embrace, There's not a thought attempts to rove; Each smile upon thy beauteous face, Fixes, and charms, and fires our love. 3 While of thine absence we complain, And long, or weep in all we do, There's a strange pleasure in the pain, And tears have their own sweetness too. 4 When round thy courts by day we rove, Or ask the watchmen of the night, For some kind tidings of our love, Thy very name creates delight. 5 JESUS, our GOD; yet rather come; Our eyes would dwell upon thy face, 'Tis best to see our LORD at home, And feel the presence of his grace.
