Jesus, the All-Restoring Word

Jesus

the all-re­stor­ing Word

My fall­en spir­it’s 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 Heav’n 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 for­giv’n;

Thou hast the right­eous­ness sup­plied

For which I mer­it Heav’n.
