Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Thou hast fully captured my heart;
None compares with Thee, none on earth or heav'n,
God yet man, most beautiful One!
How I longed to vanish in Thee
When Thy tender voice came to me.
All past loves forsaking most joyfully,
I'd just love Thee — wholeheartedly.
Thou hast fully captured my heart;
None compares with Thee, none on earth or heav'n,
God yet man, most beautiful One!
How I longed to vanish in Thee
When Thy tender voice came to me.
All past loves forsaking most joyfully,
I'd just love Thee — wholeheartedly.
Who in all the world is as fair as Thee?
Or who else can love so romantic'ly?
Oh, most holy One, now You live in me!
Jesus Lord, I deeply love Thee!
No more trusting self, nor deceived I'd be;
I'd put off my self, just be filled with Thee;
Oh, let all apart from Thee fade and flee;
My one love, my best love, is Thee.
Or who else can love so romantic'ly?
Oh, most holy One, now You live in me!
Jesus Lord, I deeply love Thee!
No more trusting self, nor deceived I'd be;
I'd put off my self, just be filled with Thee;
Oh, let all apart from Thee fade and flee;
My one love, my best love, is Thee.

Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art;
I was once rebellious and hard,
But I drop it all now to come to Thee,
Self forsake, that like Thee I'd be.
When I live, be it Thou, I pray,
Not self's will, but God's I'd obey;
To Thine heart attuned, Thy delight I'd seek;
No more struggling, fully at peace.

To Thine heart attuned, Thy delight I'd seek;
No more struggling, fully at peace.

Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art;
We two never, ever will part;
Thy dear presence is all my breath and might;
Thy dear smile is all my delight.
I would pour my heart out to Thee,
Love Thee, serve Thee, joined utterly;
My eternal portion, dear Lord, is Thee;
My one hope, Thy coming to see.

My one hope, Thy coming to see.

This is sweet. But I miss the original version—there’s something particularly special and deep in it that always moves me. I hope you can still keep the original song for us to enjoy in the LORD. Thank you!

Hallelujah, we really enjoyed this hymn when it first came out, but what an upgrade, Hallelujah for the Lord's recovery!

Amen every time I sing this hymn it really puts me in the Feels. PTL There is none in heav'n nor on earth like Thee, With Thy beauty none can compete.

Are lyrics available for the version of this song that is on the 2015 NYCYP CD How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place? These lyrics are similar, but different. Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art!

მთელ სამყაროში ვინ შეგედრება?
ვინ არის შენსავით მშვენიერი?
მხოლოდ შენ ხარ ღირსი მარად მიყვარდე,
უფალო, როგორ მიყვარხარ!
აღარ მსურს ვიცხოვრო “მეს” სიცრუეში
ჩემი სამყარო მხოლოდ შენა ხარ,
უფალო, ჩემი საუკეთესო,
პირველი სიყვარული ხარ..
