Something every heart is loving (with chorus)

Something every heart is loving:

If not Jesus

none can rest;

Lord

my heart to Thee is given;

Take it

for it loves Thee best.

God commends His own love to us

In that while we were yet sinners

Christ died for us.

Thus I cast the world behind me;

Jesus most beloved shall be;

Beauteous more than all things beauteous

He alone is joy to me.

Bright with all eternal radiance

Is the glory of Thy face;

Thou art loving

sweet

and tender

Full of pity

full of grace.

When I hated

Thou didst love me

Shedd’st for me Thy precious blood;

Still Thou lovest

lovest ever

Shall I not love Thee

my God?

Keep my heart still faithful to Thee

That my earthly life may be

But a shadow to that glory

Of my hidden life in Thee.
