Lyics

AND can I yet delay

My little all to give;

To tear my soul from earth away,

My Saviour to receive?



Nay, but I yield, I yield;

I can hold out no more;

I sink, by dying love compelled,

And own thee Con-quer-or.



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 they weight of love.
