Jesus! Thy boundless love to me (86)

Jesus! Thy boundless love to me
No thought can reach, no tongue declare!
O draw my thankful heart to Thee,
And reign without a rival there!

Thy love, how cheering is its ray!
All pain before its presence flies-
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away
Where’er its healing beams arise!

Thy love, in sufferings, be my peace!
Thy love, in weakness, make me strong!
And when the storms of life shall cease,
Thy love in heaven shall be my song!
