Hymn #285

I Give My Heart to Thee

Verse 1

I give my heart to Thee,
O Jesus most desired;
And heart for heart the gift shall be,
For Thou my soul hast fired.

Verse 2

Thou hearts alone wouldst move,
Thou only hearts dost love;
I would love Thee as Thou lovest me,
O Jesus most desired.

Verse 3

What offering can I make,
Dear Lord, to love like Thine —
That Thou, the Word, didst stoop to take
A human form like mine?

Verse 4

Thy heart is opened wide,
Its offered love most free,
That heart to heart I may abide,
And hide myself in Thee.

Verse 5

Ah, how Thy love doth burn,
Till I that love return!
I would love Thee as Thou lovest me,
O Jesus most desired.
