LORD JESUS CHRIST, OUR HEART FEELS SWEET
1. Lord Jesus
Christ, our heart feels sweet
Whene'er we think
on Thee,
And long that to
Thy presence dear
We soon might
raptured be!
Refrain
Lord, like the pretty
henna flower,
In vineyards
blossoming Thou art;
In comp'rable Thy
beauty is,
Admires and loves
our heart!
2. There is no
music adequate
Thy grace in full
to praise,
Nor there a heart
which could enjoy
Thy love in every
phase.
3. Yet, what delights
our heart the most
Is not Thy love,
Thy grace;
But it is Thine own
loving Self
That satisfies
always.
4. Oh, Thou art
fairer than the fair,
And sweeter than
the sweet;
Beside Thee, none
in heaven or earth
Our heart's desire
could meet.
