First Line: Had I a thousand hearts, I'd raise ...'
Last Line: Love to my lord!
Subject(s): Jesus Christ
"Had I a thousand hearts, I'd raise
Them all in my Redeemer's praise,"
We sometimes cry;
And still we find it hard to give
Our one poor offering, and live
As He were by!
O purest, truest, boundless love!
Worthy of Him who reigns above,
Our Heavenly Guide!
He takes the heart we fain would give,
He deigns in it himself to live,
With us to 'bide.
Tune, Lord, this heart, as 'twere a lyre
Of heavenly make, till every wire
And every chord
Wake but one strain--one deepest thrill--
Long, louder, sweeter, fuller still--
Love to my Lord!
