43. Jesus Lord, be Thou mine own

Jesus Lord, be Thou mine own;

Thee I long for, Thee alone;

All myself, I give to Thee;

Do whate'er Thou wilt with me.

Life without Thy love would be

Death, O Sovereign Good, to me;

Bound and held by Thy dear chains

Captive now my heart remains.

Thou, O God, my heart inflame,

Give that love which Thou dost claim;

Payment I will ask for none;

Love demands but love alone.

God of beauty, Lord of Light,

Thy good will is my delight;

Now henceforth Thy will divine

Ever shall in all be mine.
