Thine wholly, thine alone, I am; be thou alone my constant flame. 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. Strange flames far from my soul remove, my every act, word, thought, be love. O Love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies! Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away where'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesu, nothing may I see, nothing hear, feel, or think, but thee! In suffering be thy love my peace, in weakness be thy love my power; and when the storms of life shall cease, Jesu, in that important hour, in death as life be thou my guide, and save me, who for me hast died.
