1 My Lord, my Life, my Love,
To Thee, to Thee I call;
I cannot live if Thou remove:
Thou art my Joy, my All.

2 My only sun to cheer
The darkness where I dwell;
The best and only true delight
My song hath found to tell.

3 For how shall man, Thy child,
Without Thee happy be,
Who hath no comfort nor desire
In all the world but Thee?

4 Return, my Love, my Life;
Thy grace hath won my heart;
If Thou forgive, if Thou return,
I will no more depart.

Amen.
