[Jesus alone:—if thus it were to me]
Jesus alone:—if thus it were to me;
Yet thus it cannot be;
Lord, I have all things if I have but Thee.
Yet thus it cannot be;
Lord, I have all things if I have but Thee.
Jesus and all:—precious His bounties are,
Yet He more precious far;
Day's-eyes are many, one the Morning Star.
Yet He more precious far;
Day's-eyes are many, one the Morning Star.
57
Jesus my all:—so let me rest in love,
Thy peaceable poor dove,
Some time below till timeless time above.
Thy peaceable poor dove,
Some time below till timeless time above.
