Jesus Lord, I'm captured by Thy Beauty

Jesus Lord, I'm captured by Thy Beauty




1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
