1 Saviour, while my heart is tender,
I would yield that heart to thee,
all my powers to thee surrender,
thine, and only thine, to be.

2 Take me now, Lord Jesus, take me;
let my youthful heart be thine;
thy devoted servant make me;
fill my soul with love divine.

3 Send me, Lord, where thou wilt send me,
only do thou guide my way;
may thy grace through life attend me,
gladly then shall I obey.

4 Let me do thy will or bear it;
I would know no will but thine;
should'st thou take my life or spare it,
I that life to thee resign.

5 Thine I am, O Lord, forever,
to thy service set apart;
suffer me to leave thee never;
seal thine image on my heart.
