Lord Jesus Christ my sole desire

Lord Jesus Christ my sole desire, My heart is fixed, alone, on Thee. Among ten thousand Thou art peerless; Chiefest of all art Thou to me. |

Thy matchlessness and worth surpassing, Transcend all else exceedingly. Oh, how supreme and prepossessing, Is Thine unrivaled love to me. |

My life-long quest is just to know Thee Till more and more subjectively, I would arrive at the full knowledge, Of all the excellence of Thee. |

Since the first day that I beheld Thee I've longed to know Thee ever more My heart doth love Thee most supremely Thy preciousness, Lord, I adore. |

Lost in Thee, Lord, I gaze intently Drawn from all else to look away, Thou, Magnet of my soul, hast charmed me Far more today than yesterday. |

|
I'm captivated by Thy beauty, Incomp'rable Thou art to me. Counting all things as loss and refuse, I'd pay the price of gaining Thee. |

|
My daily goal and aim—to win Thee, For this I press on desperately, Forgetting all that is behind me And stretching forward earnestly. |

|
Toward this goal I'm pressing onward That I may lay hold of the Prize, Gain me in full that I may gain Thee Thy peerlessness to realize. |

Not I alone; we in the Body Strive to delve into and explore The rich dimensions of Thy vastness, Thine endless wealth and treasure store. |

When Thou, our Christ, so all-inclusive, We apprehend, know, and possess Thine attributes divine, our virtues Will all Thy fullness thus express. |

|
Thine excellency may we know, Lord, That Thou, Thy home in us, may make Till we arrive at Thy full knowledge And, of Thy riches full, partake. |
