LyicsJesus, take me for thine own;
To thy will my spirit frame;
Thou shalt reign, and thou alone,
Over all I have and am.
Making thus the Lord my choice,
I have nothing more to choose,
But to listen to thy voice,
And my will in thine to lose.
Then, whatever may betide,
I shall safe and happy be;
Still content and satisfied;--
Having all in having thee.
