Jesus, Thy Boundless Love to Me

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; O knit my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there; 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 heart 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 Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee.

Unwearied may I this pursue, Dauntless to the high prize aspire; Hourly within my soul renew, This holy flame, this heav'nly fire; And day and night be all my care, To guide the sacred treasure there.
