Ik wil mij gansch U geven nu
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
Ik wil mij gansch U geven nu, o liefste Jesu, zoet; den loop van al mijn leven, U, mijn herte en mijn gemoed. Aanveerdt mijn herte en 't Uwe zij, o Jesu, ook gegeven mij: verwisseling van liefden doet met mij, o Jesu zoet. 'k Beminne U, uit der maten zeer, o liefste Jesu, zoet, die zegt dat ik U volgen, Heer, en U beminnen moet; ik vrage U dan, o Jesu, kind, die kinderherten meest bemint, dat Gij mij 't alderhoogste goed in U beminnen doet. Van herten zijn wij één voortaan, o liefste Jesu, zoet, ik wil door alle smerten gaan, door allen tegenspoed; en sterven zal ik, onversaagd, zoo Gij mij in Uw herte draagt, en nimmermeer daaruit en doet, o Jesu, Jesu zoet!
