Samuel Sebastian Wesley - O love divine, how sweet thou art - ноты, текст песни (слова)

1. O love divine, how sweet thou art!
  When shall I find my longing heart
  all taken up by thee?
  I thirst, I faint and die to prove
  The greatness of redeeming love,
  The love of Christ to me.
 
 2. Stronger his love than death or hell;
  Its riches are unsearchable:
  The first-born sons of light
  Desire in vain its depth to see
  They cannot reach the mystery,
  The length and breadth and height.
 
 3. God only knows the love of God;
  O that it now were shed abroad
  In this poor stony heart!
  For love I sigh, for love I pine;
  This only portion, Lord, be mine,
  be mine this better part.
  
 4. For ever would I take my seat
  With Mary at the Master's feet:
  Be this my happy choice;
  My only care, delight and bliss
  My joy, my heaven on earth, be this,
  To hear the Bridegroom's voice.
