O how deep and e’er expanding Is my love, dear Lord, to Thee! Thy love’s depth, I cannot fathom; It constrains me ceaselessly. Like a strong tide pressed upon me, It surrounds on every side! By Thy love engulfed entirely, In Thy perfect will I ’bide. |

By Thy blood, Lord, I’ve been purchased; Thou hast paid the highest price; ‘Tis the basis of my offering As a living sacrifice. I love Thee, for Thou first loved me; As more love I daily see, Thy love greatly motivates me Willingly to live for Thee! |

Yet, the service Thou desirest Must not from my self be brought; Thou wouldst have me open to Thee, For Thy love’s work to be wrought. In my heart, Thy home establish; Reproduce Thyself in me; Built with others in Thy Body, For Thy service meet I’d be. |

Lord, like Mary, to Thee listening, At Thy feet, so lovingly, Hearing Thy dear heart’s intention, Revelation I’ll receive. Lord, I break my flask, most precious; My heart’s treasury outpour; Fill Thy house with sweetest fragrance, A memorial evermore! |
