124.  Jesus Lord

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.
