THY LOVE, O LORD

 

1. Day and night do I think of Thy love, O Lord,

Its height and its depth - O how great!

Pouring down like a great water fall, O Lord,

Thy love doth my being elate.

Thou didst come down from heav'n for love's sake, O Lord,

Forsaking Thy glory and Thy throne.

Thou wast born Son of Man under law, O Lord,

Without any wealth called Thine own.

 

Refrain

All my love is poured out at Thy feet, O Lord,

None can satisfy my heart so well,

Most delightful and precious art Thou, O Lord.

I love in Thy bosom to dwell.

 

2. Like a savory feast is Thy love, O Lord.

My whole being to satisfy.

How I thank Thee for taking my place, O Lord,

To endure the cross and to die.

Thou hast rescued me from sin and death, O Lord,

Thy blood washed my heart white as snow.

Thou hast sent Thy Spirit to help me, O Lord,

That I might please Thee here below.

 

3. Day and night do I long for Thy home, O Lord,

That Thou art preparing for me.

O what joy to walk on streets of gold, O Lord,

No more pain and tears will I see.

To abide in Thy grace and Thy love, O Lord,

What blessing divine beyond compare!

For Thy love is the same to the end, O Lord,

Thy glory is seen everywhere.
