Author: Alan Gaunt; Johann Scheffler Hymnal: Voices United #565 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Love, who made me in your likeness,
to your image forming me;
Love, who showed such gentle kindness
when I fell, restoring me:
Love, I give myself to be
one with you, eternally.
2 Love, to whom my life was precious,
long before I came to birth;
Love, for ever human with us,
born to share our life on earth:
Love, I give myself to be
one with you, eternally.
3 Love, for me, you came to suffer
and, at last, were crucified;
Love, with you, I live for ever,
joy is endless at your side:
Love, I give myself to be
one with you, eternally.
4 Love, my Life, my Truth, my Splendour,
living Spirit, Mighty Word;
Love, by whose full self-surrender
my heart's wholeness is restored:
Love, I give myself to be
one with you, eternally.
5 Love, whose yoke is laid upon me,
liberating life and mind;
Love, whose grace has overcome me,
here is freedom, unconfined:
Love, I give myself to be
one with you, eternally.
6 Love, your love's immense compassion
pleads my cause at God's right hand;
Love, redeemed from condemnation,
in your strength, though weak, I stand:
Love, I give myself to be
one with you, eternally.
7 Love, you are my Resurrection,
come to call me from the dead;
Love, I share, in your perfection,
glory that can never fade:
Love, I give myself to be
one with you, eternally.
