LyicsO, LOVE divine, how sweet thou art!
When shall I find my wand'ring heart
All taken up in thee?
O may I daily live to prove
The sweetness of redeeming love,
The love of Christ to me.
God only knows the love of God;
O may it now be shed abroad
To cheer my fainting heart;
I want to feel that love divine;
This heavenly portion, Lord, be mine;
Be mine this better part.
O that I could for ever sit
With Mary at the Master's feet:
Be this my happy choice:
My only care, delight, and bliss,
My joy, my heaven on earth be this,
To hear the Bridegroom's voice.
O that I might, with happy John,
Recline my weary head upon
The blest Redeemer's breast!
From care, and fear, and sorrow free,
Give me, O Lord, to find in thee
My everlasting rest.
