Jesus Lord, I truly love You. I must gain—gain only You. Your great love has reached me, transforming me E’en made me Thy Beloved. |
| Day by day, unceasingly, Sweetly whispering in me, My whole heart You melt! My spirit within Rejoices, Lord, with Thee! |

Love constrains me, draws gradually, To pour out my all to Thee; All my life and future, once held so dear, I yield wholeheartedly. |
| Thy hands break me faithfully— The burnt off’ring’s flame burns bright; Only after death does suffering cease; My soul-life I deny. |

Breaking of the outer man frees; Inner life thus is released; Living water, in resurrection life, Flows forth abundantly. |
| No more I who live, but Thee; It is Christ who lives in me; My humanity now transparently Expresses only Thee. |

Show me, Lord, a vision more clear; Draw me on, higher, more near; That I’d deeply long to see Thee come soon, And build Thy Body dear. |
| Lord, Thy glory’s blinded me; I the world no more can see. Now unhindered, I must finish the race, Run swiftly, steadfastly. |

See the prize ahead, very near! Soon the Kingdom will appear! Virgins, quickly rise! Trim your lamps! Behold, Here comes Your Bridegroom dear! |
| Full account the Master makes: “Well done! Well done! Faithful slave!” Wedding feast, the Kingdom, New Jerusalem— Eternal joy and praise |

The burnt off’ring’s flame burns bright;
Only after death does suffering cease;
My soul-life I deny. .......

"Lord, Thy glory’s blinded me;
I the world no more can see.
Now unhindered, I must finish the race,
Run swiftly, steadfastly."
