#750: Lord, Thee I Love with All My Heart

Another long 1500s-German song that might have once been a dance tune but has an attributed composer.

"Abraham's bosom" is a kind of archaic phrase that survives in spirituals (the word "bosom" for breast/lap survives slightly more often among old-timey baseball announcers!)

The thought experiment of whether heaven itself would be void and bare if Jesus weren't near us is an interesting one, I guess it depends on what you mean by heaven.
