SS&S Hymn #63: Jesus, Thy boundless

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

1

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me
No thought can reach, no tongue declare;
Oh, knit my thankful heart to Thee,
And reign without a rival there!
Thine wholly, Thine alone I am;
Lord, with Thy love my heart inflame.

2

Oh, grant that nothing in my soul
May dwell, but Thy pure love
alone! Oh, may Thy love possess
me whole—
My joy, my treasure, and my
crown! All coldness from my heart
remove;
May every act, word, thought, be love.

3

O Love, how cheering is Thy ray!
All pain before Thy presence flies;
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away,
Where’er Thy healing beams arise;
O Jesus, nothing may I see,
Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee.

4

In suffering be Thy love my peace;
In weakness be Thy love my power;
And when the storms of life shall cease,
Jesus, in that important hour,
In death, as life, be Thou my Guide,
And save me who for me hast died.
