I would love thee as thou lov’st me. What an intimate sentiment. This strikes at the very core of our being. What an experience of loving God and desiring a deeper love. This surely reflects who is first in the authors life. I come to you oh Lord this morning with this my one desire.
Ray Palmer was born in Little Compton, Rhode Island on November 12, 1808 and died March 29, 1887 in Newark, New Jersey. After completing grammar school, he worked in Boston in a dry goods store but a religious awakening prodded him to study for the ministry. He attended Yale College (supporting himself by teaching) and was ordained in 1835 a pastor in Congregational Churches both in Bath, Maine (1835-50) and Albany, New York (1850-65). He also served as Secretary of the American Congregational Union (1865-1878). Palmer was a renowned preacher and author of original hymns as well as a translator of many hymns. He published several volumes of poetry and hymns including “Sabbath Hymn Book” (1858), “Hymns and Sacred Pieces” (1865), and “Hymns of my Holy Hours” (1868). His “Complete Works” were published in 1876. Most of Dr. Palmer’s hymns have passed on to congregational use and have won great acceptance. The best of them by combination of thought, poetry and devotion are almost superior to almost all other American hymns.
Oh Lord, you are the desire of the nations. Oh Jesus you are the desire of my heart. In You my heart finds its rest. Lord Jesus burn within my heart till I that love return. Oh Lord I would love You as thou lov'st me, O Jesus most desired.
Verse 6
Ah, how Thy love doth burn
Till I Thy love return
I would love Thee as Thou lov'st me
O Jesus most desired.
We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19
