Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art

1
Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Thou hast fully captured my heart;
None compares with Thee, none on earth or heav’n,
God yet man, most beautiful One!
How I longed to vanish in Thee
When Thy tender voice came to me.
All past loves forsaking most joyfully,
I’d just love Thee — wholeheartedly.
  Who in all the world is as fair as Thee?
Or who else can love so romantic’ly?
Oh, most holy One, now You live in me!
Jesus Lord, I deeply love Thee!
No more trusting self, nor deceived I’d be;
I’d put off my self, just be filled with Thee;
Oh, let all apart from Thee fade and flee;
My one love, my best love, is Thee.
2
Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art;
I was once rebellious and hard,
But I drop it all now to come to Thee,
Self forsake, that like Thee I’d be.
When I live, be it Thou, I pray,
Not self’s will, but God’s I’d obey;
To Thine heart attuned, Thy delight I’d seek;
No more struggling, fully at peace.
3
Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art;
We two never, ever will part;
Thy dear presence is all my breath and might;
Thy dear smile is all my delight.
I would pour my heart out to Thee,
Love Thee, serve Thee, joined utterly;
My eternal portion, dear Lord, is Thee;
My one hope, Thy coming to see.

What a beautiful hymn to The Lord! Every time I sing it I cannot help falling deeper in love with Him! This hymn is so refreshing to my spirit and helps me to give my entire being to Him whenever I sing it. "Jesus Lord my best love Thou art"! Oh there is truly no one else as lovely and charming as He! "Oh Lord Jesus how I love thee"! When we see His beauty, we realize that we are nothing & that He is everything! All that we wanted before Him is vanity & a waste of time. Only this precious One is worthy of all our time, being, & love. Oh may we even love Him back with His love that He has poured into us that His heart may be satisfied!

Life is a Person and there is no other way to apply and enjoy this Person but by love. We need to love Him. It is not enough to believe in the Lord Jesus. To believe is to receive, but to love is to enjoy what we have received. We must take His desires as our desires. We must take His will as our will. We must take His intention as our intention.To love Him as a Person, we must take His personality. We must learn to love the Lord faithfully! :)

I have heard lots of love songs and hymns - this ranked together with "Love with everlasting love," "All scenes alike engaging prove." Wonderful and marvellous - a true expression of the love of a believer unto our God!! Please also let me know who is the author and his/her testimony for this lovely song/hymn.
