1 Dear Lord, unloose my stamm’ring tongue,
And bid it speak for Thee,
That I may tell to sinners round;
Thy goodness unto me;
Dear Master lift my idle hands,
And fill them with Thy work;
Inspire my soul with fervent zeal,
That I no task may shirk.

Refrain:
Saviour, I cling to Thee,
I’ll live and work for Thee,
I’ll love and serve Thee better,
Saviour, stay with me.

2 Dear Lord, I consecrate my all,
A sacrifice most meet,
And lay the humble offering
Low at Thy blessed feet;
Receive it for Thy mercy’s sake,
Accept the gift I bring;
‘Tis all I have to offer Thee,
My Lord, my God, my King. [Refrain]

3 O, guide my feeble, falt’ring feet,
And watch them lest they stray;
And day by day may they be found
In wisdom’s pleasant way!
Dear Lord, within my erring heart,
O make Thy dwelling place;
Baptize it richly with Thy love,
And fill it with Thy grace. [Refrain]
