Jesus hath died that I might live,

Might live to God alone;

In him eternal life receive,

And be in spirit one,

2 My soul breaks out in strong desire

The perfect bliss to prove;

My longing heart is all on fire

To be dissolved in love.

3 Give me thyself. From every boast

From every wish, set free,

Let all I am in thee be lost;

But give thyself to me.

4 Thy gifts, alas! can not suffice,

Unless thyself be given;

Thy presence makes my Paradise,

And where thou art, is heaven!
