THY LOVE, O LORD
1. Day and night do
I think of Thy love, O Lord,
Its height and its
depth - O how great!
Pouring down like a
great water fall, O Lord,
Thy love doth my
being elate.
Thou didst come down
from heav'n for love's sake, O Lord,
Forsaking Thy glory
and Thy throne.
Thou wast born Son
of Man under law, O Lord,
Without any wealth
called Thine own.
Refrain
All my love is
poured out at Thy feet, O Lord,
None can satisfy my
heart so well,
Most delightful and
precious art Thou, O Lord.
I love in Thy bosom
to dwell.
2. Like a savory feast
is Thy love, O Lord.
My whole being to
satisfy.
How I thank Thee
for taking my place, O Lord,
To endure the cross
and to die.
Thou hast rescued
me from sin and death, O Lord,
Thy blood washed my
heart white as snow.
Thou hast sent Thy
Spirit to help me, O Lord,
That I might please
Thee here below.
3. Day and night do
I long for Thy home, O Lord,
That Thou art
preparing for me.
O what joy to walk on
streets of gold, O Lord,
No more pain and
tears will I see.
To abide in Thy
grace and Thy love, O Lord,
What blessing
divine beyond compare!
For Thy love is the
same to the end, O Lord,
Thy glory is seen
everywhere.
