Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEE FGHGIIJJ BKBGLMNE

Object of my first desireA
Jesus crucified for meB
All to happiness aspireC
Only to be found in TheeB
Thee to praise and Thee to knowD
Constitute our bliss belowD
Thee to see and Thee to loveE
Constitute our bliss aboveE
-
Lord it is not life to liveF
If Thy presence Thou denyG
Lord if Thou Thy presence giveH
'Tis no longer death to dieG
Source and Giver of reposeI
Singly from Thy smile it flowsI
Peace and happiness are ThineJ
Mine they are if Thou art mineJ
-
While I feel Thy love to meB
Every object teems with joyK
Here O may I walk with TheeB
Then into Thy presence dieG
Let me but Thyself possessL
Total sum of happinessM
Real bliss I then shall proveN
Heaven below and heaven aboveE
