Love on my heart Matches base text
Language: English
Love on my heart from heaven fell, Soft as the dew on flow'rs of Spring, Sweet as the hidden drops that swell Their honey-throated chalicing. Now never from him do I part, Hosana evermore I cry, I taste his savour in my heart, And bid all praise him as do I. Without him noughtsoever is, Nor was... afore, nor e'er shall be: Nor any other joy than his Wish I for mine to comfort me.
