LyicsAlmighty love, inspire
My heart with pure desire,
Until the sacred fire
My soul does renew;
I love the blessed Jesus,
On whom all heaven gazes,
And symphony increases,
Above the etherial blue.
My tender hearted Jesus,
Thy love my soul amazes,
Who came from heaven to save us,
When lost and undone;
No angel could redeem us,
No seraph could retrieve us,
No arm could relieve us,
But Jesus alone.
In him I have believed,
He has my soul retrieved,
From sin he has redeemed
My spirit lost and dead.
And now I love my Saviour,
For I am in his favour,
And hope with him forever
The golden streets to tread.
Yet here a while I stay,
In hope of that glad day,
When I am call'd away,
To the mansions above;
There to enjoy the pleasure
Of unconsuming treasure,
And shout in highest measure,
Hallelujahs of love.
