2 O grant that nothing in my soul
May dwell, but Thy pure love alone;
O may Thy love possess me whole,

My joy, my treasure, and my crown:
Strange fires far from my soul remove;
My every act, word, thought, be love.

3 O love, how cheering is thy ray!

All pain before thy presence flies:
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away,
Where'er thy healing beams arise.
O Jesus, nothing may I see,
Nothing desire or seek, but Thee.

4 Still let Thy love point out my way;

What wondrous things Thy love hath
Still lead me, lest I go astray; [wrought!

Direct my word, inspire my thought;
And if I fall, soon may I hear
Thy voice, and know that love is near.

5 In suffering, be Thy love my peace;

In weakness, be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease,
