O could we but love that Savior

Verse 1

O could we but love that Savior, who loves us so ardently, as we ought, our souls would ever full of joy and comfort be; if we, by his love incited, could ourselves and all forget, then, with Jesus Christ united, we should heav'n anticipate.

Verse 2

O that Jesus’ love and merit filled our hearts both night and day! May the leading of His Spirit all our thoughts and actions sway! Then should we be ever ready cheerfully to testify how our spirit, soul and body do in God our Savior joy.
