Lyics

And 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 thee 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,

Only thy 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.
