MY Lord, my life, my love, To Thee, to Thee I call: I cannot live, if Thou remove, For Thou art All-in-all. |
|||
2 | The smilings of Thy face, Such happiness they are! ’Tis Heaven to rest in Thine embrace, And nowhere else but there. |
||
3 | Not all the earth or sky, Can one delight afford; No fleeting touch of deeper joy, Without Thy presence, Lord. |
||
4 | Thou art the source of love Whence all my pleasures flow; The sphere in which my interests move, And all my hopes below. |
||
5 | To Thee my feelings fly With infinite desire; And yet, how far from Thee I lie! Dear Jesus, raise me higher. |

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
