Lyics

LORD thou hast won-at length I yield;

My heart, by mighty grace compelled

Surrenders all to thee:

Against thy terrors long I strove,

But who can stand against thy love?-

Love conquers even me.



Now, Lord, I would be thine alone-

Come, take possession of thine own,

For thou hast set me free;

Released from Satan's hard command,

See all my power in waiting stand,

To be employed by thee.
