Author: J. Burton, Jr. 1803-1877 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #611 (1917) Hymnal Title: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book Lyrics: 1 Saviour, while my heart is tender,
I would yield that heart to Thee;
All my powers to Thee surrender,
Thine, and only Thine, to be.
2 Take me now, Lord Jesus, take me,
Let my youthful heart be Thine;
Thy devoted servant make me,
Fill my soul with love divine.
3 Send me, Lord, where Thou wilt send me,
Only do Thou guide my way;
May Thy grace through life attend me,
Gladly then shall I obey.
4 Let me do Thy will or hear it,
I will know no will but Thine;
Shouldst Thou take my life, or spare it,
I that life to Thee resign.
5 May this solemn dedication
Never once forgotten lie;
Let it know no revocation,
Published and confirmed on high.
6 Thine I am, O Lord, for ever,
To Thy service set apart;
Suffer me to leave Thee never,
Seal Thine image on my heart. Topics: Dedication Of Youth; Dedication Of Youth; Children Consecrated to Christ; For the Young; Consecration Of Youth; Consecration To God; Youthful Consecration ; Piety, early Languages: English Tune Title: ST. OSWALD
