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, oh 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.
