Lyics

JESUS has died that I might live,

Might live to God alone;

In him eternal life receive,

And be in spirit one.



Saviour, I thank thee for the grace,

The gift unspeakable:

And wait with arms of faith t' embrace,

And all thy love to feel.



Give me thyself--from ev'ry boast,

From ev'ry wish set free;

Let all I am in thee be lost;

But give thyself to me.



Thy gifts, alas! cannot suffice,

Unless thyself be giv'n;

Thy presence makes my paradise;

And where thou art is heav'n.
