Lyics

Compared with Christ, in all beside
No comeliness I see;
The one thing needful, dearest Lord,
The one thing needful, dearest Lord,
Is to be one with thee.


The sense of thy expiring love
Into my soul convey;
Thyself bestow, for thee alone,
Thyself bestow, for thee alone,
My all in all I pray.


Less than thyself will not suffice
My comfort to restore:
More than thyself I cannot crave,
More than thyself I cannot crave,
And thou canst give no more.


Whate'er consists not with thy love,
O teach me to resign;
I'm rich to all th' intents of bliss,
I'm rich to all th' intents of bliss,
If thou, O God, are mine.
