Love strong as death, pos¤sess my soul,
My in¤most be¤ing fill:
Lead me, and teach me to o¤bey
All God’s most Ho¤ly Will.

Love, bind me to God’s al¤tar now,
Nought from Thee to with¤hold:
The whole burnt of¤f’ring I would give
To be di¤vine, con¤trolled.

Love, draw me, I will fol¤low on
Un¤til I prove and see
The length and depth, and breadth and height,
Of Thine im¤men¤si¤ty.

Love nev¤er fail¤ing, death¤less love,
How could it e’er de¤part?
Love, teach me how to give to God
An un¤di¤vid¤ed heart.
