Jesus, my heart and soul’s desire,
You fill me with celestial fire!
Scorched by your passion I am pure
Your blood and body sinner’s cure
Who but my Lord is like to thee
Forfeiting power for slavery?
You could have ruled the universe
Distant from man and the cross’ curse
But you are not that God to me
Of an unmoving majesty
You offered up your Son to die
To tangle Satan in his lie
For he would have you without love
God of the angels far above,
But not a God become a man
In the sweet mystery of your plan
Jesus, I love thee heart and breast;
Let not doubt put me to the test.
No greater love has God for me
Than through his death to set me free!
