Lord Jesus Christ, our heart feels sweet

6 Verses Longing For Christ Heartfelt Worship

Verse 1

Lord Jesus Christ, our heart feels sweet Whene'er we think on Thee, And long that to Thy presence dear We soon might raptured be!

Chorus

Lord, like the pretty +henna-flower, In vineyards blossoming Thou art; Incomp'rable Thy beauty is, Admires and loves our heart!

Verse 2

There is no music adequate Thy grace in full to praise, Nor there a heart which could enjoy Thy love in every phase.

Verse 3

Yet, what delights our heart the most Is not Thy love, Thy grace; But it is Thine own loving Self That satisfies always.

Verse 4

Oh, Thou art fairer than the fair, And sweeter than the sweet; Beside Thee, none in heaven or earth Our heart's desire could meet.

End-note
