¶Liedtext

O dearest Lord, take Thou my heart; Where can such sweetness be As I have tasted in thy love, As I have found in Thee? If zeal, with knowledge in the heart, Thy loving grace does give, Safe in the bush unhurt, the whole Will unconsumed live. If love, that mildest flame, can rest In hearts so cold as mine, Come, gentle Saviour, to my breast, And all its love be Thine. The world does exercise its art But tempts my heart in vain: I have conveyed away that heart, Ne'er to return again. O 'tis in vain to seek for bliss, For bliss can ne'er be found 'Til we arrive where Jesus is, And tread on grace's ground. O 'tis in vain to seek for bliss. For bliss can ne'er be found 'Til we arrive where Jesus is, And tread on grace's ground. 'Tis heaven on earth to taste his love, To feel his quickening grace: And all the heaven I hope above Is but to see his face. Continue still thy love, dear Lord, Fast bind me to thy wounds: There let me dwell, where all thy love The raptured soul surrounds.
