Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #444 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus hath died that I might live,
Might live to God alone;
In him eternal life receive,
And be in spirit one.
2 Saviour, I thank thee for thy grace,
The gift unspeakable;
And wait, with arms of faith t' embrace,
And all thy love to feel.
3 My soul breaks out in strong desire
The perfect bliss to prove;
My longing heart is all on fire
To be dissolved in love.
4 Give me thyself; from every boast--
From every wish set free;
Let all I am in thee be lost,
But give thyself to me.
5 Thy gifts, alas! can not suffice,
Unless thyself be given;
Thy presence makes my paradise,
And where thou art is heaven.
