Jesus, The All-Restoring Word

Jesus, the all-restoring Word, My fallen spirits hope, After Thy lovely likeness, Lord, Ah! when shall I wake up?

Thou, O my God, Thou only art The life, the truth, the way; Quicken my soul, instruct my heart, My sinking footsteps stay.

Of all Thou hast in earth below, In Heavn above, to give, Give me Thy only love to know In Thee to walk and live.

Fill me with all the life of love, In mystic union join Me to Thyself and let me prove The fellowship divine.

Open the intercourse between My longing soul and Thee, Never to be broke off again To all eternity.

Grant this, O Lord: for Thou hast died That I might be forgivn; Thou hast the righteousness supplied For which I merit Heavn.
