Author: John Wesley, 1703 - 91; Paul Gerhardt, 1607 - 76 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #399 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thy boundless love to me
No thought can reach, no tongue declare;
Unite 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;
Strange fires far from my soul remove;
May every act, word, thought, be love.
3 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 Jesus, nothing may I see,
Nothing desire or seek, but thee.
4 Unwearied, may I this pursue,
Dauntless, to this high prize aspire;
Hourly within my soul renew
This holy flame, this heavenly fire;
And day and night be all my care
To guard this sacred treasure there. Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service; The Life In Christ The Inner Life; The Life In Christ Consecration; The Life in Christ Aspiration Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETERSBURG (CHERUBIC HYMN)
