#713, #1210

 

 1  Jesus Lord, I'm captured by Thy beauty.

       All my heart to Thee I open wide;

    Now set free from all religious duty,

       Only let me in Thyself abide.

    As I'm gazing here upon Thy glory,

       Fill my heart with radiancy divine;

    Saturate me, Lord, I now implore Thee,

       Mingle now Thy Spirit, Lord, with mine.

 

 2  Shining One — how clear the sky above me!

       Son of Man, I see Thee on the throne!

    Holy One, the flames of God consume me,

       Till my being glows with Thee alone.

    Lord, when first I saw Thee in Thy splendor,

       All self-love and glory sank in shame;

    Now my heart its love and praises render,

       Tasting all the sweetness of Thy name.

 

 3  Precious Lord, my flask of alabaster

       Gladly now I break in love for Thee;

    I anoint Thy head, Beloved Master;

       Lord, behold, I've saved the best for Thee.

    Dearest Lord, I waste myself upon Thee;

       Loving Thee, I'm deeply satisfied.

    Love outpoured from hidden depths within me,

       Costly oil, dear Lord, I would provide.

 

 4  My Beloved, come on spices' mountain;

       How I yearn to see Thee face to face.

    Drink, dear Lord, from my heart's flowing fountain,

       Till I rest fore'er in Thine embrace.

    Not alone, O Lord, do I adore Thee,

       But with all the saints as Thy dear Bride;

    Quickly come, our love is waiting for Thee;

       Jesus Lord, Thou wilt be satisfied.
