Laudis Corona ‎#169

169. I am my Love's

1 I am my Love's and He is mine,
O Earth, attend, ye heav'ns, hear!
Your mighty Lord, your King divine
Is now my bosom's Guest most dear;
Behold the vast Creator makes
His home within His creatures' breast;
His realms of glory He forsakes;
'Tis in my heart He loves to rest.

Chorus:
My dearest Lord, my Love, I'm thine,
And Thou, my Jesus, art all mine,
My heart forever thine shall be!
Oh, keep it, Jesus, all for Thee.

2 Close lock'd within His fond embrace,
His Sacred Heart reclines on mine;
Its throbbings flood my soul with grace,
And rapt'rous love, and bliss divine.
Lo! angels near me hover round,
From opening skies bright legions dart;
For Jesus, their dear King, they've found
Within the heaven of my heart. [Chorus]
