Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Scheffler Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #397 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Love, who madest me to wear
The image of Thy Godhead here;
Who soughtest me with tender care
Thro’ all my wand'rings wild and drear--
O Love, I give myself to Thee,
Thine ever, only Thine to be.
2 O Love, who ere life’s earliest dawn
On me Thy choice hast gently laid;
O Love, who here as man wast born,
And like to us in all things made--
O Love, I give myself to Thee,
Thine ever, only Thine to be.
3 O Love, who once in time wast slain,
Pierced thro' and thro' with bitter woe;
O Love, who, wrestling thus didst gain
That we eternal joy might know--
O Love, I give myself to Thee,
Thine ever, only Thine to be.
4 O Love, who thus hast bound me fast
Beneath that easy yoke of Thine;
Love, who hast conquered me at last,
Enrapturing this heart of mine--
O Love, I give myself to Thee,
Thine ever, only Thine to be.
5 O Love, who lovest me for aye,
Who for my soul dost ever plead;
O Love, who didst that ransom pay
Whose power sufficeth in my stead--
O Love, I give myself to Thee,
Thine ever, only Thine to be.
6 O Love, who once shalt bid me rise
From out this dying life of ours;
O Love, who once above yon skies
Shalt set me in the fadeless bowers--
O Love, I give myself to Thee,
Thine ever, only Thine to be.
