Object of my first desire

D Em
Object of my first desire
G A
Jesus crucified for me.
Bm Em
All to happiness aspire
G A
that is only found in you.
G D
You to praise and you to know
Em G A
constitute my joy below;
D Em
you to see and you to love
G Em-A D
constitute my joy above.
Lord, it is not life to live
if your presence you deny;
Lord, if you your presence give,
‘tis no longer death to die.
Source and giver of repose,
only from your smile it flows;
happiness that will endure
is all mine when I am yours.
While I feel your love below,
everything in life is bright;
may I ever walk with you
in your light may I see light.
Jesus, let me you possess,
you the source of happiness;
perfect peace I then shall prove;
heaven below and heaven above.
Augustus Toplady 18th century
Words altered by John Kelly
