Object of My First Desire

Congregational singing
Westminster Chapel, London
Text: Augustus M. Toplady | Tune: TICHFIELD (Richardson)

Object of my first desire,
Jesus, crucified for me;
All to happiness aspire,
Only to be found in Thee.
Thee to praise, and Thee to know,
Constitute my bliss below;
Thee to see, and Thee to love,
Constitute my bliss above.

Lord, it is not life to live,
If Thy presence Thou deny:
Lord, if Thou Thy presence give,
‘Tis no longer death to die.
Source and giver of repose,
Only from Thy smile it flows,
Peace and happiness are Thine;
Mine they are, if Thou art mine.

Whilst I feel Thy love to me,
Every object teems with joy;
May I ever walk with Thee,
For ‘tis bliss without alloy.
Let me but Thyself possess,
Total sum of happiness:
Real bliss I then shall prove,
Heaven below and heaven above.
