O dearest Love divine

O dearest love divine,
My heart to Thee I give,
Exchanging it for Thine,
That Thou in me may live.
Most loving and most meek,
Hearts only do Thou seek:
O may my heart but prove
A love like Thine, sweet Love!


Thy heart is opened wide
That, freely ent'ring in,
I may Thy guest abide,
And newer life begin.
This doest Thou, to gain
My love, and ever retain:
O may my answer prove
A love like Thine, sweet Love!


Here in This Heart I find
An ever quiet mind
A mansion of the Blest.
A haven of sweet rest
