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.

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.

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.

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.
My Beloved, come on spices' mountain;
How I yearn to see Thee face to face.
Drink, dear Lord, from my heart's flowing fountain,
This song is one of my favourite hymns. I find it so sweet and personal yet very much Body-oriented... The experience of Christ as such an attracting and beautiful One brings a lot more appreciation of this wonderful Person! He is the One to whom we are being attracted and drawn day by day as we go on enjoying Him in His sweetness. And He is the only One we seek after... What a precious and intimate Christ we have!!!
I am 12 years old and I like this song because it makes me feel great. I like it when I am in church and we (the church) get to sing 1159. It just brings joy to everyone in that room. The thing I like the most about this song is the words. I think the words make you relax.
Each time I sing this song, I'm once again captured by the beauty of the Lord and my love for Him is renewed. When I'm in love with the Lord, I feel like I can just open my whole heart to Him! I want to be constantly reminded about how great it is to love Him in such a pure way. Too many times, I get caught up in my mind and feel like I need to do many things for Him. But coming to this song I realize that sometimes I just need to forget about all religious duty and to just enjoy remaining in His presence each moment simply because He is such a wonderful Person and so worthy to be loved. Spontaneously, as I love Him, I am filled by Him and what He desires becomes so clear to me.
Matthew 5:8 says "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Loving the Lord with a pure heart enables us to see Him clearly. It's so true that in my experience, when I love the Lord and care for His interest, the 'sky' above becomes so clear because I realize that He's the One on the throne, that He's sovereign and He's wise and as long as He's in control, everything will be all right. Furthermore, seeing this wonderful Person washes away all of my self. I can just praise Him because He's so wonderful and whenever something comes up, I just turn to Him by calling on His name, "O Lord Jesus!"
As our love for Him grows, He becomes so precious to us that we are willing to pour out so much on Him. Just like Mary who poured out costly ointment from an alabaster flask to anoint the Lord Jesus, we would be able to give up what is precious to us because we've realized that He's much better! In my experience this could be small things like our time and our education to consecrating our whole life to Him. The Lord is so lovely and so worthy that the sacrifices we have to make are but small in comparison to the satisfaction we gain from loving Him.
Eventually, it will be our love for the Lord that will bring Him back. As lovers of the Lord, we are built up with the other saints to become the Bride of Christ. May He be satisfied with our love and what we have to offer to Him that He can come back quickly! "Dear Lord, draw us and attract us to Yourself each day. May we flee all youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on You out of a pure heart. We desire to love You with such a pure heart that satisfies your heart's desire and brings you back."
