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 forever sit
With Mary at the Master's feet!
Be this my happy choice:
My only care, delight, and bliss,
My joy, my heav'n on earth be this
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.
