Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Hymnal: BH2008 #166 (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
No thought can reach, no tongue declare;
O bind my thankful heart to Thee,
And reign without a rival there:
Thine wholly,Thine alone, I am;
Be Thou alone my constant flame.
2 O grant that nothing in my soul
May dwell but Thy pure love alone;
O may Thy love possess me whole,
My joy my treasure and my crown:
All coldness from my heart remove;
May every act, word, thought, be love.
3 O Love, how gracious is Thy way!
All fear before Thy presence flies;
Care, anguish, sorrow melt away,
Where e'er Thy healing beams arise:
O Jesus, nothing may I see,
Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee.
4 In suff'ring, be Thy love my peace;
In weakness, be Thy love my power;
And when the storms of life shall cease,
O Jesus, in that solemn hour,
In death as life be Thou my guide,
And save me, who for me hast died. Topics: Jesus, His Love, Mercy, Grace Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE
