For love I sigh, for love I pine; this only portion, Lord, be mine, be mine this better part. 4 For ever would I take my seat with Mary at the Master's feet: be this my happy choice; my only care, delight, and bliss, my joy, my heaven on earth, be this, to hear the Bridegroom's voice! 5 Thy only love do I require, nothing on earth beneath desire, nothing in heaven above: let earth and heaven, and all things go, give me thine only love to know, give me thine only love.
