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;
   Shouldst Thou take my life or spare it,
   I that life to Thee resign.

5. Thine I am, O Lord, for ever,
   To Thy service set apart;
   Suffer me to leave Thee never;
   Seal Thine image on my heart.
