1. Our most indulgent Savior
Teach us thy love to find,
To triumph in thy favor
And know thy Spirit's mind.
This grace to us be given,
This be our one request,
To want no other heaven,
Than leaning on thy breast.

 

2. The place of John we'd covet,
More than a Seraph's throne,
To rest in our beloved,
And breathe our final groan.
On thee alone relying
To lose our sin and pain;
And on thy bosom dying,
Our life eternal gain.
