Hymn after Receiving Holy Communion

I HAVE Thee now, O Jesu,
    Enshrined within my soul,
In all Thy love and fulness,
    With power to make me whole.
Though cold and so unworthy,
5
    Though weak and stained with sin,
I opened to Thee, Jesu,
    And Thou hast entered in.
I have Thee now, O Jesu!
    And oh, the thrill divine
10
To feel that Thou art in me,
    To know that Thou art mine!
I have Thee, too, O Jesu,
    As pledge of future bliss;
But faith is lost in wonder
15
    At rapture more than this.
I have Thee now, O Jesu!
    Purge all my dross away,
Light up my inmost being
    With Thy full flood of day;
20
Do Thou, O Lord, shine through me
    In all my words and ways,
Till others catch Thy glory,
    And join in endless praise.
I have Thee now, O Jesu!
25
    Oh, never more depart!
Grant that no fresh offences
    Shall drive Thee from my heart;
Till down the long dark valley,
    The path which Thou hast trod,
30
There dawns in cloudless splendour
    The vision of my God.
                                                            Amen.
