Oh love divine, how sweet Thou art
When shall I find my willing heart
All taken up by Thee
All taken up by Thee
I thirst, I faint, I die to prove
The greatness of redeeming love
The love of Christ to me
The love of Christ to me
Stronger His love than death or hell
It's riches are unsearchable
The first-born sons of light
The first-born sons of light
Desire in vain it's depths to see
They cannot reach the mystery
The length, the breadth, the height
The length, the breadth, the height
Be mine
Be mine this better part
God only knows the love of God
O that it now were shed abroad
This poor stony heart
This poor stony heart
For love I sigh, for love I pine
This only portion, Lord, be mine
Be mine this better part
Be mine this better part
O that I could, with favored John
Recline my weary head upon
The dear Redeemer's breast
The dear Redeemer's breast
From care, and sin, and sorrow free
Give me, O Lord, to find in Thee
My everlasting rest
My everlasting rest
Be mine
Be mine this better part
