One Hundred Holy Songs, Carols, and Sacred Ballads | ||
[Thee my soul desires]
“Unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.”
Thee my soul desires,
Thee my heart admires,
Crown'd Messiah, slain ere sin began;
All my ways confess Thee,
And my mouth shall bless Thee,
Mighty son of Mary—God with man.
Thee my heart admires,
Crown'd Messiah, slain ere sin began;
All my ways confess Thee,
And my mouth shall bless Thee,
Mighty son of Mary—God with man.
Once a soul unheeding,
Pass'd Thee, Jesus, bleeding;
I was that poor soul. Thou pitiedst me.
Now, Thy mourner, weeping,
Vow'd to Thy blest keeping;
I am Thy poor friend that loveth Thee.
Pass'd Thee, Jesus, bleeding;
I was that poor soul. Thou pitiedst me.
Now, Thy mourner, weeping,
Vow'd to Thy blest keeping;
I am Thy poor friend that loveth Thee.
If my short day waneth,
Lord, Thy light remaineth;
I shall see it though my sun decline;
Sun of my salvation,
Star of consolation,
Bright and morning Star, arise and shine.
Lord, Thy light remaineth;
I shall see it though my sun decline;
Sun of my salvation,
Star of consolation,
Bright and morning Star, arise and shine.
