1201. I would be, dear Saviour, wholly thine

1 I would be, dear Saviour, wholly thine;
Teach me how, teach me how;
I would do thy will, O Lord, not mine;
Help me, help me now.

Refrain:
Wholly thine, wholly thine,
Wholly thine, this is my vow;
Wholly thine, wholly thine,
Wholly thine, O Lord, just now.

2 What is worldly pleasure, wealth, or fame,
Without thee, without thee?
I will leave them all for thy dear name,
This my wealth shall be. [Refrain]

3 As I cast earth's transient joys behind,
Come thou near, come thou near;
In thy presence all in all I find,
'Tis my comfort here. [Refrain]
