O Love Divine, How Sweet Thou Art

Author: C. Wesley, 1770-88 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #62 (1996) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet Thou art! When shall I find my longing heart All taken up by Thee? I thirst, I faint, and die, and prove The greatness of redeeming love, The love of Christ to me. 2 Stronger His love than death or hell, Its reaches are unsearchable; The first-born sons of light Desire in vain its depths to see; They cannot reach the mystery The length, and breadth, the height. 3 God only knows the love of God, And yet He deigns to shed abroad His love in my poor heart! For love I sigh, for Christ I pine; This only portion, Lord, be mine, Be mine this better part. 4 O that I could forever sit With Mary at the Master’s feet! Be this my happy choice! My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heav'n on earth, be this, To hear the Bridegroom’s voice. Languages: English
