This Better Part 歌词

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
