LyicsO love divine, how sweet thou art!
When shall I find my wandering heart
All taken up in thee?
O may I daily live to prove
The sweetness of redeeming love,
The love of Christ to me,
The love of Christ to me,
The love of Christ to me,
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;
The heavenly portion, Lord, be mine,
Be mine this better part,
Be mine this better part,
Be mine this better part,
Be mine this better part.
O that I could forever 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,
To hear the bridegroom's voice,
To hear the bridegroom's voice,
To hear the bridegroom's voice.
O that I might, with happy John,
Recline my weary head upon
The bless'd Redeemer's breast!
From care and fear and sorrow free,
Give me, O Lord, to find in thee
My everlasting rest,
My everlasting rest,
My everlasting rest,
My everlasting rest.
