Thy mighty love
O God
constraineth me
As some strong tide it presseth on its way
Seeking a channel in my self-bound soul
Yearning to sweep all barriers away.
Shall I not yield to that constraining power?
Shall I not say
O tide of love
flow in?
My God
Thy gentleness hath conquered me
Life cannot be as it hath hither been.
Break through my nature
mighty
heavenly love
Clear every avenue of thought and brain
Flood my affections
purify my will
Let nothing but Thine own pure life remain.
Thus wholly mastered and possessed by God
Forth from my life
spontaneous and free
Shall flow a stream of tenderness and grace
Loving
because God loved
eternally.
