Something every heart is loving:
If not Jesus, none can rest;
Lord, my heart to Thee is given;
Take it, for it loves Thee best.
If not Jesus, none can rest;
Lord, my heart to Thee is given;
Take it, for it loves Thee best.

Thus I cast the world behind me;
Jesus most beloved shall be;
Beauteous more than all things beauteous,
He alone is joy to me.
Jesus most beloved shall be;
Beauteous more than all things beauteous,
He alone is joy to me.

Bright with all eternal radiance
Is the glory of Thy face;
Thou art loving, sweet, and tender,
Full of pity, full of grace.
Is the glory of Thy face;
Thou art loving, sweet, and tender,
Full of pity, full of grace.

When I hated, Thou didst love me,
Shedd’st for me Thy precious blood;
Still Thou lovest, lovest ever,
Shall I not love Thee, my God?
Shedd’st for me Thy precious blood;
Still Thou lovest, lovest ever,
Shall I not love Thee, my God?

Keep my heart still faithful to Thee,
That my earthly life may be
But a shadow to that glory
Of my hidden life in Thee.
That my earthly life may be
But a shadow to that glory
Of my hidden life in Thee.

Every third and fourth line of each stanza is my favorite!

Shall I not love Thee, my God?"

When we touch the Lord and the love He has for us, we have an automatic response within to love Him and give our life to Him. “Lord my heart to Thee is given” Everything else fades in comparison. I’m so thankful that every day we can touch the Lord in His beauty and every day He can draw us more into Himself and bring us further into His glory.

This hymn has been coursing through my inner being for weeks now.
How wonderful and glorious it is that we can give our heart to Him as a consecrated offering, "Please do take it Lord, it truly loves Thee best".
