Author: J. Wesley, 1703-1791; J. Scheffler, 1624-1677 Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, of good the unfathomed Sea!
Who would not give his heart to Thee?
Who would not love Thee with his might?
O Jesus, Lover of mankind,
Who would not his whole soul and mind,
With all his strength, to Thee unite?
2. Thou shin'st with everlasting rays;
Before the insufferable blaze
Angels with both wings veil their eyes;
Yet, free as air Thy bounty streams
On all Thy works; Thy mercy's beams
Diffusive, as Thy sun's, arise.
3. High throned on heaven's eternal hill,
In number, weight, and measure still
Thou sweetly orderest all that is:
And yet Thou deign'st to come to me,
And guide my steps, that I, with Thee
Enthroned, may reign in endless bliss.
4. Fountain of good, all blessing flows
From Thee; no want Thy fulness knows;
What but Thyself canst Thou
Yet, self-sufficient as Thou art,
Thou dost desire my worthless heart;
This, only this, dost Thou require.
5. O God, of good the unfathomed Sea!
Who would not give his heart to Thee?
Who would not love Thee with his might?
O Jesus, Lover of mankind,
Who would not his whole soul and mind,
With all his strength, to Thee unite?
