The Heart Dissolving in Love

Verse 1

Jesus hath died that I might live, Might live to God alone; In Him eternal life receive, And be in spirit one.

Verse 2

Saviour, I thank thee for the grace, The gift unspeakable: And wait with arms of faith t’embrace, And all Thy love to feel.

Verse 3

My soul breaks out in strong desire The perfect bliss to prove; My longing heart is all on fire To be dissolved in love.

Verse 4

Give me thyself; from every boast, From every wish set free; Let all I am in thee be lost, But give Thyself to me.

Verse 5

Thy gifts, alas! cannot suffice Unless Thyself be given; Thy presence makes my paradise, And where Thou art is heaven.
