Hymn 80: I Cannot Breathe Enough To Thee

Verse 1

I cannot breathe enough of Thee.

O gentle breeze of love,

More fragrant than the myrtle tree

The Rose of Sharon is to me,

The balm of heav’n above.

 

Verse 2

I cannot gaze enough on Thee,

Thou Fairest of the fair;

My heart is filled with ecstasy,

As in Thy face of radiancy

I see such beauty there.

 

Verse 3

I cannot work enough for Thee,

My Saviour, Master, Friend,

I do not wish to go out free

But ever, always, willingly

To serve Thee to the end.

Verse 4

I cannot sing enough for Thee,

The sweetest name on earth,

A note so full of melody

Comes from my heart so joyously,

And fills my soul with mine

 

Verse 5

I cannot speak enough of Thee,

I have so much to tell;

Thy heart it beats so tenderly

As Thou dost draw me close to Thee

And whisper “All is well”.
