My Savior and My God

Representative Text

1 My Savior and my Lord, to Thee I give
This heart of mine, to be henceforth Thine own.
No worthiness have I to make my plea,
No right of gift save Thy command alone.

2 But this I have, and marv’lling at Thy grace,
I hesitate no more—Thou lovest me!
I recognise Thy right to this poor heart,
Thy right supreme, and yield it unto Thee.

3 Oh! reign therein, and keep it wholly Thine,
Make every pulse unto Thy blessèd will
To beat so full, so true, that evermore
My spirit Thou mayest sanctify and fill.
