Part III. Amor Jesus dulcissimus.
Jesus, thy mercies are untold Through each returning day ; Thy love exceeds a thousandfold Whatever we can say;
That love which in thy passion drained For us thy precious blood; That love whereby the saints have gained The vision of their God.
'Tis thou hast loved us from the womb, Pure source of all our bliss. Our only hope of life to come. Our happiness in this.
Lord, grant us, while on earth we stay. Thy love to feel and know; And, when from hence we pass away To us thy glory show.
