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.
