1.Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
No thought can reach, no tongue declare;
Unite my thankful heart with Thee
And reign without a rival there.
To Thee alone, dear Lord, I live;
Myself to Thee, dear Lord, I give.

2.O, grant that nothing in my soul
May dwell but Thy pure love alone!
Oh, may Thy love possess me whole,
My joy, my treasure, and my crown!
All coldness from my heart remove;
My 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.This love unwearied I pursue
And dauntlessly to Thee aspire.
Oh, may Thy love my hope renew
Burn in my soul like heav'nly fire!
And day and night be all my care
To guard this sacred treasure there.

5.My Savior, Thou Thy love to me
In shame, in want, in pain, hast showed;
For me, on the accursed tree,
Thou pourest forth Thy guiltless blood;
Thy wounds upon my heart impress,
Nor aught shall the lov'd stamp efface.
