Lyrics
I wish to love my Saviour more sincerely,
And not to grieve Him, Who loved me so dearly;
For this would bring much grief and much affliction
In my direction.
What shall I do? My Saviour, do Thou teach me!
Let flames of love and pure affection reach me,
That I may be immersed with true devotion
In love's deep ocean.
Thou cam'st to us from Thy throne in the heavens
To bear for us our sins and ev'ry grievance,
For us to die and unto all creation
To bring salvation.
This hast Thou done, Lord, and should I keep silence?
O let Thy love constrain me to bear witness
That Thou, my Lord and God, hast brought redemption
From sin's oppression!
Pour deep into my soul from Zion's mountain
Thy love so pure, a living, flowing fountain,
That e'er shall flow from my heart, fresh and vernal,
To life eternal!
One day shall faith and hope for us be ended;
But we shall enter in, by love attended,
Thy city fair, Jerusalem in glory,
And there adore Thee.
And not to grieve Him, Who loved me so dearly;
For this would bring much grief and much affliction
In my direction.
What shall I do? My Saviour, do Thou teach me!
Let flames of love and pure affection reach me,
That I may be immersed with true devotion
In love's deep ocean.
Thou cam'st to us from Thy throne in the heavens
To bear for us our sins and ev'ry grievance,
For us to die and unto all creation
To bring salvation.
This hast Thou done, Lord, and should I keep silence?
O let Thy love constrain me to bear witness
That Thou, my Lord and God, hast brought redemption
From sin's oppression!
Pour deep into my soul from Zion's mountain
Thy love so pure, a living, flowing fountain,
That e'er shall flow from my heart, fresh and vernal,
To life eternal!
One day shall faith and hope for us be ended;
But we shall enter in, by love attended,
Thy city fair, Jerusalem in glory,
And there adore Thee.
