102. 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.

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 selflove and glory sank in shame; Now my heart its love and praises render, tasting all the sweetness of thy name.

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.

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.
