| Jesus Lord, I’m captured by Thy beauty,
|
| All my heart to Thee I open wide;
|
| Now set free from all religious duty,
|
| Only let me in Thyself abide.
|
| As I’m gazing here upon Thy glory,
|
| Fill my heart with radiancy divine;
|
| Saturate me, Lord, I now implore Thee,
|
| Mingle now Thy Spirit, Lord, with mine.
|
| Shining One—how clear the sky above me!
|
| Son of Man, I see Thee on the throne!
|
| Holy One, the flames of God consume me,
|
| Till my being glows with Thee alone.
|
| Lord, when first I saw Thee in Thy splendor,
|
| All self-love and glory sank in shame;
|
| Now my heart its love and praises render,
|
| Tasting all the sweetness of Thy name.
|
| Precious Lord, my flask of alabaster
|
| Gladly now I break in love for Thee;
|
| I anoint Thy head, Beloved Master;
|
| Lord, behold, I’ve saved the best for Thee.
|
| Dearest Lord, I waste myself upon Thee;
|
| Loving Thee, I’m deeply satisfied.
|
| Love outpoured from hidden depths within me,
|
| Costly oil, dear Lord, I would provide.
|
| My Beloved, come on spices' mountain;
|
| How I yearn to see Thee face to face. |
| Drink, dear Lord, from my heart’s flowing fountain,
|
| Till I rest fore’er in Thine embrace.
|
| Not alone, O Lord, do I adore Thee,
|
| But with all the saints as Thy dear Bride;
|
| Quickly come, our love is waiting for Thee;
|
| Jesus Lord, Thou wilt be satisfied. |
