MAKE ME LOVE THEE SO
O Jesus, make me love Thee so
I shall not ask, nor care, to know
Where Thou wouldst have me go.
I shall not ask, nor care, to know
Where Thou wouldst have me go.
I would, my Lord, my God, I were
Like those true souls that have no care
Except Thy life to share,
Like those true souls that have no care
Except Thy life to share,
And love Thee in that perfectness
Of self-surrender Thou wilt bless
With calm in toil and stress.
Of self-surrender Thou wilt bless
With calm in toil and stress.
Like them indeed I cannot be;
I cannot love Thee worthily;
Yet, Jesus, look on me.
I cannot love Thee worthily;
Yet, Jesus, look on me.
Break Thou my heart with that sweet look
Which, more than bitterest rebuke,
Can pierce who Thee forsook:
Which, more than bitterest rebuke,
Can pierce who Thee forsook:
And heal the heart deep-wounded thus
With Thy sweet comfort luminous,
Dear Heart, pierced through for us.
With Thy sweet comfort luminous,
Dear Heart, pierced through for us.
