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 my Rod and Staff and Guide.
O grant that nothing in my soul
may dwell, but Thy pure love alone!
O may Thy love possess my whole,
my Joy, my Treasure, and my Crown.
All coldness from my heart remove;
my ev’ry 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.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Amen!
