Something every heart is loving:

|
| 1. | 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. |
| 2. | Thus I cast the world behind me; |
| | Jesus most beloved shall be; |
| | Beauteous more than all things beauteous, |
| | He alone is joy to me. |
| 3. | Bright with all eternal radiance |
| | Is the glory of Thy face; |
| | Thou art loving, sweet, and tender, |
| | Full of pity, full of grace. |
| 4. | 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? |
| 5. | Keep my heart still faithful to Thee, |
| | That my earthly life my be |
| | But a shadow to that glory |
| | Of my hidden life in Thee. |
