Jesus Lord, I’m captured by Thy beauty,
All my heart to Thee I open wide;
Now set free from all religious duty,
Only let me in Thyself abide.
As I’m gazing here upon Thy glory,
Fill my heart with radiancy divine;
Saturate me, Lord, I now implore Thee,
Mingle now Thy Spirit, Lord, with mine.
All my heart to Thee I open wide;
Now set free from all religious duty,
Only let me in Thyself abide.
As I’m gazing here upon Thy glory,
Fill my heart with radiancy divine;
Saturate me, Lord, I now implore Thee,
Mingle now Thy Spirit, Lord, with mine.

Shining One—how clear the sky above me!
Son of Man, I see Thee on the throne!
Holy One, the flames of God consume me,
Till my being glows with Thee alone.
Lord, when first I saw Thee in Thy splendor,
All self-love and glory sank in shame;
Now my heart its love and praises render,
Tasting all the sweetness of Thy name.

Tasting all the sweetness of Thy name.

Precious Lord, my flask of alabaster
Gladly now I break in love for Thee;
I anoint Thy head, Beloved Master;
Lord, behold, I’ve saved the best for Thee.
Dearest Lord, I waste myself upon Thee;
Loving Thee, I’m deeply satisfied.
Love outpoured from hidden depths within me,
Costly oil, dear Lord, I would provide.

My Beloved, come on spices’ mountain;
How I yearn to see Thee face to face.
Drink, dear Lord, from my heart’s flowing fountain,
Till I rest fore’er in Thine embrace.
Not alone, O Lord, do I adore Thee,
But with all the saints as Thy dear Bride;
Quickly come, our love is waiting for Thee;
Jesus Lord, Thou wilt be satisfied.
How I yearn to see Thee face to face.
Drink, dear Lord, from my heart’s flowing fountain,
Till I rest fore’er in Thine embrace.
Not alone, O Lord, do I adore Thee,
But with all the saints as Thy dear Bride;
Quickly come, our love is waiting for Thee;
Jesus Lord, Thou wilt be satisfied.

If ever anything in this whole world becomes too difficult for you, SING THIS SONG! POUR it out on the head to our Master as costly oil...He will be satisfied (and you also).

If you mean every word while you sing this prayer, then you can't be the same person after the last verse...the pauses in between is just enough to lift up your eyes an to look into Jesus' eyes...O THIS song is written for ME to enjoy and I would like to share it with all my brothers and sisters...What is there in life that is SO special and So valuable to you? Bring it in your alabater flask and break the flask and anoint the Head of our master with the oil in it...He'll be satisfied! Be assured!

What a wonderful prayer to sing...

This hymn shows how the beginning of love in us toward the Lord is a vision of His wonderful person. I especially enjoy the part in stanza 2 that says, "Lord when first I saw Thee in Thy splendor...Now my heart its love and praises render." It's only by seeing the excellency of Christ that we can love Him, even with the best love.

I sing now every morning...I think it is WINDOWS. I have an old computur and really there is no way how I can stop the previous song but "to embed" the song and then I type another new song in. Can you perhaps introduce a way how you can stop the music, otherwise it just go on and on. I enjoy it out of my heart.

It has the key qualities in a beautiful hymn. Beautiful message, beautiful melody. Extremely well-written.

Yes, I like this song because I am a man who is captured by the love of God. Let the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ dwell in us. In Christ.

Not alone, O Lord, do I adore Thee,
But with all the saints as Thy dear Bride.
It was so sweet singing this hymn with all the dear saints in Jacksonville!

There is a saying, a very simple one and yet profound and it goes like this "He who has not Loved, Has not lived"'
When I sing this song, to me a prayer, I am subdued by the One, who Loved the greatest, with the sole desire that I may enter into that love, and Live!!!!! Yes live, and of a truth until you have tasted and seen that the Lord is Good, you have not lived.
