Something every heart is loving:
If not Jesus, none can rest;
Lord, my heart to Thee is given;
Take it, for it loves Thee best.
If not Jesus, none can rest;
Lord, my heart to Thee is given;
Take it, for it loves Thee best.

Thus I cast the world behind me;
Jesus most beloved shall be;
Beauteous more than all things beauteous,
He alone is joy to me.
Jesus most beloved shall be;
Beauteous more than all things beauteous,
He alone is joy to me.

Bright with all eternal radiance
Is the glory of Thy face;
Thou art loving, sweet, and tender,
Full of pity, full of grace.
Is the glory of Thy face;
Thou art loving, sweet, and tender,
Full of pity, full of grace.

When I hated, Thou didst love me,
Shedd’st for me Thy precious blood;
Still Thou lovest, lovest ever,
Shall I not love Thee, my God?
Shedd’st for me Thy precious blood;
Still Thou lovest, lovest ever,
Shall I not love Thee, my God?

Keep my heart still faithful to Thee,
That my earthly life may be
But a shadow to that glory
Of my hidden life in Thee.
That my earthly life may be
But a shadow to that glory
Of my hidden life in Thee.

Revised version:
5. Keep my heart still turning to Thee,
That my unveiled face might be
A reflection of Thy glory
Of the Triune God in me.

Keep my heart still faithful to Thee [to the end}. That my earthly life may be but a shadow to that glory of my hidden life in Thee. There is no higher aspiration for a Christian. This is the purpose of our life that we would live out that life in us to give Him glory . Lord I pray for this.
