1.
Oh Lord, Thou my dearest love,
Now to Thy bosom I flee!
Nothing in all the world but Thee,
May rouse the quite peace in me.
Lord, Thou hast called me in Thy love,
I once was fully drawn  to Thee;
While through the wilderness I trod,
Thy band of love bound me to Thee.

2.
Lord, I give myself to Thee,
Thy love constrained me dearly;
This love Thou never didst forget,
Fore'er impressed deeply in Thee.
Ah, hopeful dawn in days of youth 
Its future radiantly bright
Ne're quenched should altars fire have been,
Till breaks the day of splendid light.

3.
Toiling, labring I had been,
Knew Thee as Master merely;
Lo, now my Husband I have seen,
Betrothed, Beloved, unto Thee.
Hence, broken cisterns hew no more,
To fount of living waters face;
Richly Im feasting on Thy love,
Drowned in Thy deepest sea of grace.

4.
Lord, now belong I to Thee,
Joined our two hearts lovingly!
Longing that no more I who live,
But Thou, the One who lives in me.
Yea, Thou in me and I in Thee.
Affections intimate and sweet.
Oh, that I may be lost in Thee,
Fore'er inseprable, complete!
