O love divine, of all that is

Author: Rev. John W. Chadwick Hymnal: Hymnal, Amore Dei #9 (1890) Lyrics: O Love divine, of all that is The sweetest still and best. Fain would I come and rest to night Upon Thy tender breast: I pray Thee turn me not away; For, sinful though I be, Thou knowest every thing I need, And all my need of Thee. And yet the spirit in my heart Says, Wherefore should I pray That Thou shouldst seek me with Thy love, Since Thou dost seek alway? And dost not even wait until I urge my steps to Thee; But in the darkness of my life Art coming still to me. But Thou wilt hear the thought I mean, And not the words I say; Wilt hear the thanks among the words, That only seem to pray. Still, still Thy love will beckon me, And still Thy strength to come In many ways to bear me up And bring me to my home. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LEONARD

O Love divine, of all that is

Hymnal: Christ in Song #356 (1908) Lyrics: 1 O Love divine, of all that is, The sweetest and the best, Fain would I come and rest to-night Upon thy tender breast; I pray thee turn me not away; For, sinful though I be, Thou knowest ev'rything I need, And all my need of thee. 2 And yet the spirit in my heart Says, Wherefore should I pray That thou shouldst seek me with thy love, Since thou dost seek alway? And dost not even wait until I urge my steps to thee; But in the darkness of my life Art coming still to me. 3 Thou hearest ev'ry tho't I mean, And not the words I say, The hidden thanks among the words That only seen to pray. Still, still thy love will beckon me, And still thy strength will come In many ways to bear me up And bring me to my home. Topics: Christ Christ With Us Languages: English
