I will love thee, all my treasure;
I will love thee, all my strength;
I will love thee without measure,
And without a stain at length:
I will love thee Light Divine,
Till I die and find thee mine!
I will praise thee, Sun of glory!
For the bliss thy beams have brought;
I will praise thee, will adore thee,
For the light I long had sought:—
Praise thee that thy words so blest
Soothed my troubled soul to rest!
Be my heart more warmly glowing,
Sweet and calm the tears I shed;
And its love! its ardour, showing,
Let my spirit onward tread:
Near to thee, and nearer still,
Draw this heart, this mind, this will.
I will love in joy or sorrow!
While I in this body dwell;
I will love to-day, to-morrow,
With a love no words can tell:
I will love thee, Light Divine,
Till I die, and find thee mine!
