Thy mighty love, O God, constraineth me, As some strong tide it presseth on its way, Seeking a channel in my self-bound soul, Yearning to sweep all barriers away. |

Shall I not yield to that constraining power? Shall I not say, O tide of love, flow in? My God, Thy gentleness hath conquered me, Life cannot be as it hath hither been. |

Break through my nature, mighty, heavenly love, Clear every avenue of thought and brain, Flood my affections, purify my will, Let nothing but Thine own pure life remain. |

Thus wholly mastered and possessed by God, Forth from my life, spontaneous and free, Shall flow a stream of tenderness and grace, Loving, because God loved, eternally. |

A very sweet, intimate hymn! "For the love of Christ constrains us because we have judged this, that One died for all, therefore all died" (2 Corinthians 5:14). Praise the Lord that the love of Christ is so real and manifested to us through dying on the cross for us. It is not by our work, not our own will, but Christ's loving death is the motivating factor that constrains us to live a loving life for Him! Praise the Lord!
