BOOK III. May I live upon thy smiles, Till the promised hour appears, When the sons of God shall prove All their Father s boundless love.

1 Fix my heart and eyes on thine I What are other objects worth ? But to see thy glory shine Is a heaven begun on earth: Trifles can no longer move, Oh, I tread on all beside When I feel my Saviour s love, And remember how he died!

2 Now my search is at an end, Now my wishes rove no more ! Thus my moments I would spend, Love and wonder and adore : Jesus, source of excellence ! All thy glorious love reveal ; Kingdoms shall not bribe me hence While this happiness I feel.

3 Take my heart, tis all thine own, To thy will my spirit frame ; Thou shalt reign, and thou alone, Over all I have or am : If a foolish thought shall dare To rebel against thy word, Slay it, Lord, and do not spare, Let it feel thy Spirit s sword.

4 Making thus the Lord my choice, I have nothing more to choose But to listen to thy voice, And my will in thine to lose : Thus, whatever may betide, I shall safe and happy be ; Still content and satisfied, Having all in having thee. Rh
