Lord, thine image Thou hast lent me In thy never fading love, When I fell, yet Thou hast sent me Full redemption from above. Sacred love I long to be Thine for all eternity. Love, to bliss thou hast ordained Me, e'er I began to be; God of love, thou'st not disdained To become a man like me: Love almighty and divine, I would be for ever thine. Love, who hast for me endured All the pains of death and hell; Love, whose suff'rings have procured More for me than tongues can tell: Sacred love, I long to be Thine to all eternity. Love, my life and my salvation, Light and truth, eternal word, Thou alone dost consolation To my sinking soul afford: Love almighty and divine, I would be for ever thine. To thy blessed yoke Thou'rt tying Me with cords of grace and love; While my heart is ever crying, May I come and faithful prove. Sacred love, I long to prove Thine to all eternity. Love, who wilt for ever love me, Intercessor for my soul, Who sustains me, light or heavy, On thy priestly breast or roll: Love almighty and divine, I would be for ever thine. Love, who wilt hereafter raise me From the grave and bed of death; Love whose final zeal arrays me With a garland 'mong the just: Sacred love I long to be Thine for all eternity.
