Lyics

And can I yet delay

My little all to give?

To tear my soul from earth away

For Jesus to receive?



Nay, but I yield, I yield;

I can hold out no more;

I sink, by dying love compelled,

And own thee conqueror.



Though 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 wavering 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.
