O Love divine, how sweet Thou art, When shall I find my willing heart All taken up by Thee? My thirsty spirit faints to prove The greatness of redeeming love, The love of Christ to me. |

Stronger His love than death and hell, Its riches are unsearchable: The first-born sons of light Desire in vain its depths to see; They cannot reach the mystery, The length, and breadth, and height. |

God only knows the love of God; Oh, that it now were shed abroad In this poor stony heart; For love I sigh, for love I pine; This only portion, Lord, be mine, Be mine this better part. |

Oh, that I could forever sit Like Mary, at the Master’s feet; Be this my happy choice; My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my rest on earth be this, To hear the Bridegroom’s voice. |

A lovely hymn by Charles Wesley and a nice tune by Lowell describing the love of Jesus for us. Thank you.
