Author: T. M. T. Appears in 1 hymnal Refrain First Line: Give me thy heart, give me thy heart Scripture: Psalm 37:4 First Line: Give me thy heart, O wayward child Lyrics: 1 Give me thy heart, O wayward child,
Cease from thy wand’rings, lone and wild,
Long hast thou lived in sin and strife,
“Come unto me” for love and life.
Refrain:
Give me thy heart, give me thy heart,
Dally no longer with sin;
Start from the kingdom of pardon and love,
Haste the new life to begin.
2 Give me thy heart, O sinful one,
Doubt not the truth of God’s own Son,
Never will he a soul deceive,
Trust in him now, believe, believe. [Refrain]
3 Give me thy heart, back-slidden soul,
Under Christ’s flag again enroll,
Penitent hearts he’ll free from stain,
Angels will welcome them again. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Give me thy heart, O wayward child]
Give Me Thy Heart
