Representative Text

1 O May my soul with thee unite!
And be thou, Saviour, mine:
Be thou my only soul's delight,
And make me ever thine.

2 Cause me to taste and feel thy love,
And know thee as thou art;
Thou art my riches from above,
And treasures of my heart.

3 Be thou my rock on which I build,
My tower and safe abode;
To thee I will submit and yield,
And pray to thee my God.

4 It is my fainting soul's desire,
Thy mercies to embrace;
May I obtain what I admire:
Thy love and pard'ning grace.

5 Could I possess thy blessed mind,
How happy should I be!
What joys and comforts wold I find,
To be espous'd to thee.

6 United by such heav'nly ties,
Would prove my greatest bliss!
And perfectly complete my joys,
And set my soul at peace.
