Jesus Lord, I’m captured by Thy beauty

1
Jesus Lord, I’m captured by Thy beauty,
  All my heart to Thee I open wide;
Now set free from all religious duty,
  Only let me in Thyself abide.
As I’m gazing here upon Thy glory,
  Fill my heart with radiancy divine;
Saturate me, Lord, I now implore Thee,
  Mingle now Thy Spirit, Lord, with mine.
2
Shining One—how clear the sky above me!
  Son of Man, I see Thee on the throne!
Holy One, the flames of God consume me,
  Till my being glows with Thee alone.
Lord, when first I saw Thee in Thy splendor,
  All self-love and glory sank in shame;
Now my heart its love and praises render,
  Tasting all the sweetness of Thy name.
3
Precious Lord, my flask of alabaster
  Gladly now I break in love for Thee;
I anoint Thy head, Beloved Master;
  Lord, behold, I’ve saved the best for Thee.
Dearest Lord, I waste myself upon Thee;
  Loving Thee, I’m deeply satisfied.
Love outpoured from hidden depths within me,
  Costly oil, dear Lord, I would provide.
4
My Beloved, come on spices’ mountain;
  How I yearn to see Thee face to face.
Drink, dear Lord, from my heart’s flowing fountain,
  Till I rest fore’er in Thine embrace.
Not alone, O Lord, do I adore Thee,
  But with all the saints as Thy dear Bride;
Quickly come, our love is waiting for Thee;
  Jesus Lord, Thou wilt be satisfied.

I’m not sure I know who wrote this hymn. I searched for other hymns by him in this data base. This has to be the best one he wrote. What a beautiful love song issuing from a Jesus lover. “Quickly come my love is waiting for you”. This sentiment comes from keeping Christ as our first love and from gazing on Him the beautiful one!

Lord Jesus, Your beauty captivates me more and more each day.

Saturate me, Lord, I now implore Thee, Mingle now Thy Spirit, Lord, with mine. Not alone oh Lord do I adore You, but with all the saint as Thy dear bride. Lord, I long to see You face to face!

The first three verses of this wonderful hymn are about our love and consecration and willingness to be broken. This is my prayer. This beautiful one is worth it. This love brings us to other lovers, the bride, in verse four. Here we worship with the body which is on God’s heart. The author’s inspiration is mine also. Lord we love you !

My Beloved, come on spices’ mountain;

How I yearn to see Thee face to face.

Drink, dear Lord, from my heart’s flowing fountain,

Till I rest fore’er in Thine embrace.

Not alone, O Lord, do I adore Thee,

But with all the saints as Thy dear Bride;

Quickly come, our love is waiting for Thee;

Jesus Lord, Thou wilt be satisfied. Amen
