My little all to give?
To tear my soul from earth away
For Jesus to receive?
2. Nay, but I yield, I yield;
I can hold out no more;
I sink, by dying love compelled,
And own Thee Conqueror.
3. Though late, I all forsake;
My friends, my all, resign;
Gracious Redeemer, take, O take,
And seal me ever Thine!
4. Come, and possess me whole,
Nor hence again remove;
Settle and fix my wavering soul
With all Thy weight of love. Used With Tune: BOYLSTON Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1740
