Cântăre Endearing Lord

1. O Christ divine, O God of love,

Thou source of every good;

I’ll live in time and heav’n above,

And serve Thee as I should.



R: Endearing Lord! Majestic One!

With radiant glories crowned;

Oh, Thou hast conquered, I have come,

Thy pard’ning grace I’ve found.



2. Sweet peace and love now reign within,

Like rolling rivers flow;

Thus keeping all my life from sin

In this vain world below.



3. My life and breath are in Thy hand,

My joys and all I know;

I live and breathe at Thy command—

Then shall I leave Thee? No.



4. Lord, if I had ten thousand lives,

I’d give them all to Thee;

Thy matchless goodness surely proves

Thy wondrous love to me.



5. Majestic Christ! O dearest Friend!

Thou princely One so pure;

Let men and angel voices blend,

Thy royal name adore.
