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 compell'd,

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 wav'ring soul

With all Thy weight of love.
