Jesus Hath Died That I Might Live

Jesus hath died that I might live, Might live to God alone; In him eternal life receive, |:And be in spirit one.:|

Saviour, I thank thee for the grace, The gift unspeakable! And wait with arms of faith to embrace, |:And all thy love to feel.:|

My soul breaks out in strong desire The perfect bliss to prove; My longing heart is all on fire To be dissolved in love.:|

Give me thyself; from every boast, From every wish set free; Let all I am in thee be lost; |:But give thyself to me.:|

Thy gifts, alas, cannot suffice Unless thyself be given; Thy presence makes my paradise, |:And where thou art is heaven! :|
