LyicsAnd can I yet delay
My little all to give?
To tear my soul from earth away,
My Jesus to receive!
Nay, but I yield, I yield!
I can hold out no more;
I sink, by dying love compell'd,
And own the conqueror.
Tho' late, I all forsake,
My friends my all resign:
Gracious Redeemer, take, O take,
And seal me ever thine:
Come, and possess me whole,
Nor hence again remove:
Settle and fix my wav'ring soul,
With all thy weight of love.
My one desire be this,
Thy only love to know:
To seek and taste no other bliss,
No other good below:
My life, my portion thou,
Thou all sufficient art,
My hope, my heavenly treasure, now
Enter, and keep my heart.
