With a beautiful text and melody from the mid-19th century, "Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All" beautifully communicates the longing for Christ's Body in the Eucharist which is so acute today during this COVID panic. I know that it gave me a lot of joy and comfort to sing this hymn and record it for you. I hope it brings you peace at home.
Text:
Jesus! my Lord, my God, my all!
How can I love Thee as I ought?
And, how revere this wondrous gift,
So far surpassing hope or thought?
(Refrain) Sweet Sacrament! we Thee adore!
O, make us love Thee more and more!
Had I but Mary's sinless heart
To love Thee with, my dearest King!
O with what bursts of fervent praise
Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing!
(Refrain) Sweet Sacrament! we Thee adore!
O, make us love Thee more and more!
Thy Body, Soul, and Godhead, all!
O mystery of love divine!
I cannot compass all I have,
For all Thou hast and art are mine!
(Refrain) Sweet Sacrament! we Thee adore!
O, make us love Thee more and more!
