O Lord, Thy boundless love to me

lyricist: Paul Gerhardt
Composer: Old English melody

O Lord

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.

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.

O Love

how cheering is Thy ray

All pain before Thy presence flies;

Care

anguish

sorrow

melt away

Where’er Thy healing beams arise;

Lord Jesus

nothing may I see

And naught desire

or seek

but Thee.
