My Lord, My Life, My Love

My Lord

my life

my love

To Thee

to Thee I call;

I can­not live if Thou re­move:

Thou art my joy

my all.

My on­ly sun to cheer

The dark­ness where I dwell;

The best and on­ly true de­light

My song hath found to tell.

To Thee in ve­ry Heav­en

The an­gels owe their bliss;

To Thee the saints

whom Thou hast called

Where per­fect plea­sure is.

And how shall man

Thy child

Without Thee hap­py be

Who hath no com­fort nor de­sire

In all the world but Thee?

Return

my love

my life;

Thy grace hath won my heart;

If Thou for­give

if Thou re­turn

I will no more de­part.
