Jesus Lord, I’m Captured by Thy Beauty |
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. |
