O Jesus, Delight of My Soul

O Je­sus

de­light of my soul

My Sav­ior

my shep­herd di­vine!

I yield to Thy bless­èd con­trol

My bo­dy and spir­it are Thine.

Thy love I can nev­er de­serve

That bids me be hap­py in Thee;

My God and my king I will serve

Whose fa­vor is Heav­en to me.

How can I Thy good­ness re­pay

By na­ture so weak and de­filed?

Myself I have giv­en away

O call me Thine own lit­tle child.

And art Thou my Fa­ther ab­ove?

Will Je­sus abide in my heart?

O bind me so fast with Thy love

That I nev­er from Thee de­part.
