INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT
| THE LOVE OF CHRIST Jesus, thy boundless love to me no thought can reach, no tongue declare. o knit my thankful heart to thee, and reign without a rival thee! Thne wholly, thine alone, i am, be though alone my constant flame. O grant that nothing in my soul may dwell, but thy pure love alone: o may thy love possess my whole, my joy my treasure, and my crown: strange flames far from my heart remove; my every act, word, thought, be love! o love, how cheering is thy ray; all pain before thy presence flies, care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, where'er thy healing beams arise; o jesus, nothing may i see, nothing desire, or seek, but thee! unwearied may i this pursue dauntless to the high prize aspire; hourly within my soul renew this holy flame, this heavenly fire; and day and night be all my care to guard the sacred treasure there unknown |
