"A Heart Like Thine"

Give me a love that knows no ill;
Give me the grace to do thy will.
Pardon and cleanse this soul of mine;
Give me a heart like Thine.

Refrain
Come to my soul, blessed Jesus.
Hear me, O Saviour divine!
Open the fountain and cleanse me;
Give me a heart like Thine.

Only a joy, a few brief years;
Only a dream, a vale of tears;
Vain is this world I now resign.
Give me a heart like Thine

Pillow my head upon Thy breast;
Shelter my soul and give me rest;
Fill me with love as I recline.
Give me a heart like Thine.

- Judson W. VanDeventer, 1855-1939
