Jesus, Thy Boundless Love to Me Words by Paul Gerhardt; tr. John Wesley, alt. Music by Henri F. Hemy; last 8 measures, James G. Walton Words and Music public domain 166
Jesus, Thy boundless love to meNo thought can reachno tongue declare
O bind my thankful heart to TheeAnd reign without a rival there
Thine wholly, Thine alone, I amBe Thou alone my constant flame
O grant that nothing in my soulMay dwell but Thy pure love alone
O may Thy love possess me wholeMy joy, my treasure, and my crown
All coldness from my heart removeMay ev’ry act, word, thought, be love
O Love, how gracious is Thy wayAll fear before Thy presence flies
Care, anguish, sorrow melt awayWhere’er Thy healing beams arise
In suff’ring, be Thy love my peaceIn weakness, be Thy love my pow’r
And when the stormsof life shall ceaseO Jesus, in that solemn hour
In death as life be Thou my guideAnd save me, who for me hast died
