Something every heart is loving

http://www.hymnal.net/hymn.php?t=nt&n=547

Something every heart is loving:
If not Jesus, none can rest;
Lord, my heart to Thee is given;
Take it, for it loves Thee best.

Thus I cast the world behind me;
Jesus most beloved shall be;
Beauteous more than all things beauteous,
He alone is joy to me.

Bright with all eternal radiance
Is the glory of Thy face;
Thou art loving, sweet, and tender,
Full of pity, full of grace.

When I hated,Thou didst love me,
Shedd'st for me Thy precious blood;
Still Thou lovest, lovest ever,
Shall I not love Thee, my God?

Keep my heart still faithful to Thee,
That my earthly life may be
But a shadow to that glory
of my hidden life in Thee.

I realized that some simple YP songs make so much sense right now, after I have been through many experiences. Even though the words are simple, the experience of the writer is deep and sweet.

Oh Lord, Keep my heart still faithful to Thee, That my earthly life may be But a shadow to that glory of my hidden life in Thee.
