Lord Jesus Thou who only art

Lord Jesus, Thou who only art

The endless source of purest joy,

O! come and fill this longing heart -

May nought but Thee my thoughts employ.

Teach me on Thee to fix my eye,

For none but Thee can satisfy.

 

The joys of earth can never fill

The heart that’s tasted of Thy love;

No portion will I seek until

I reign with Thee, my Lord above,

When I shall gaze upon Thy face,

And know more fully all Thy grace.

 

When from Thy radiant throne on high

Thou didst my fall and ruin see,

Thou cam’st on earth for me to die

That I might share Thy throne with Thee.

Loved with an everlasting love,

My hopes, my joys are all above.

 

Till Thou shalt come to take me home,

Be this my one ambition, Lord,

Self, sin, the world to overcome,

Fast clinging to Thy faithful word,

More of Thyself each day to know

And more into Thine image grow.
