1 O Jesus, my Savior, at last, at last,
I yield to Thy sweet control;
Now enter my weary, contrite heart;
Oh, cleanse me, and make me clean!

Refrain:
I’m yielding, dear Savior, at last, at last,
I’m yielding to Thy control;
Come, Jesus, and wash all my sins away;
Oh, cleanse me and make me whole!

2 I long have withstood Thy love and grace,
And hindered Thy sweet control;
I yield me at last to Thy embrace,
Oh, cleanse me and make me whole! [Refrain]

3 In humble submission I bow at last,
And yield Thee my life and soul;
Now wash me from all my stains of sin,
Oh, cleanse me, and make me whole! [Refrain]
