Jesus, Beloved of my heart,
Thy grace I earnestly implore;
Oh, if Thou wilt the gift impart,
I’ll use it but to love Thee more.
Let others dream
of jewelled walls,
Of golden cities fair to see;
No glorious scene
my soul enthrals,
Where’er Thou art is heaven for me.
The brightest forms of earthly love
Are dull beside Thine own to me;
With wistful eyes I look above,
And wonder when Thy face I’ll see.
Let others dream
of jewelled walls,
Of golden cities fair to see;
No glorious scene
my soul enthrals,
Where’er Thou art is heaven for me.
Though Paradise has many joys,
And flowers of beauty fair to see,
Not gates of pearl nor angel’s voice
Shall thrill my soul like love of Thee.
Let others dream
of jewelled walls,
Of golden cities fair to see;
No glorious scene
my soul enthrals,
Where’er Thou art is heaven for me.
Without Thee no celestial light
Shall shine to make my soul content;
But with Thee this sad earth is bright,
And glows with joy from heaven lent.
Let others dream
of jewelled walls,
Of golden cities fair to see;
No glorious scene
my soul enthrals,
Where’er Thou art is heaven for me.
