Jesus, thy boundless love to me

Thine wholly, thine alone I am; Be thou alone my constant flame. 2 O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but thy pure love alone; O may thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown; Strange fires far from my soul remove; May every act, word, thought, be love. 3 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. 4 Unwearied, may I this pursue, Dauntless, to this high prize aspire; Hourly within my soul renew This holy flame, this heavenly fire; And day and night be all my care To guard this sacred treasure there.
