Object of my first desire,- br Jesus, crucified for me;- br All to happiness aspire, br Only to be found in Thee; br Thee to praise, and Thee to know, br Constitute our bliss below; br Thee to see, and Thee to love, br Constitute our bliss above. br br Lord it is not life to live, br If Thy presence Thou deny; br Lord, if Thou Thy presence give, br 'Tis no longer death - to die. br Source and Giver of repose, br Singly from Thy smile it flows; br Peace and happiness are Thine, br Mine they are, if Thou art mine. br br While I feel Thy love to me, br Every object teems with joy; br Here, O may I walk with Thee, br Then into Thy presence die. br Let me but Thyself possess - br Total sum of happiness - br Real bliss I then shall prove, br Heaven below and heaven above.
