But let me all thy stamp receive, But let me all thy words obey, Serve with a single heart and eye, And to thy glory live and die.

FATHER, Son, and Holy Ghost,

One in Three, and Three in One, As by the celestial host,

Let thy will on earth be done; Praise by all to thee be given, Glorious Lord of earth and heaven!

2 Vilest of the sinful race,

Lo! I answer to thy call;
Meanest vessel of thy grace,
Grace divinely free for all,
Lo! I come to do thy will,
All thy counsel to fulfil.
3 If so poor a worm as I

May to thy great glory live,
All my actions sanctify,

All my words and thoughts receive;
Claim me for thy service, claim
All I have, and all I am.

4 Take my soul and body's powers;
Take my memory, mind, and will,
All my goods and all my hours,
All I know, and all I feel,
All I think, or speak, or do;
Take my heart;-but make it new!
5 Now, O God, thine own I am,

Now I give thee back thine own;
Freedom, friends, and health, and fame,
Consecrate to thee alone:
Thine I live, thrice happy I
Happier still if thine I die.

5 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
One in Three, and Three in One,
As by the celestial host,

Let thy will on earth be done;
Praise by all to thee be given,
Glorious Lord of earth and heaven!

GOD, what offering shall I give To thee, the Lord of earth and skies? My spirit, soul, and flesh receive,

A holy, living sacrifice;
Small as it is, 'tis all my store;
More shouldst thou have, if I had more.

2 Now then, my God, thou hast my soul,
No longer mine, but thine I am;
Guard thou thine own, possess it whole,
Cheer it with hope, with love inflame;
Thou hast my spirit, there display
Thy glory to the perfect day.

FATHER, into thy hands alone

I have my all restored; My all thy property I own, The steward of the Lord.

;

2 Hereafter none can take away
My life, or goods, or fame;
Ready at thy demand to lay
Them down I always am.
Confiding in thy only love,

Through Jesus strengthening me,
I wait thy faithfulness to prove,
And give back all to thee.

4 Take when thou wilt into thy hands,
And as thou wilt require;
Resume by the Chaldean bands,
Or the devouring fire.

5 Determined all thy will to obey,
Thy blessings I restore;
Give, Lord, or take thy gifts away,
I praise thee evermore.

GIVE me the faith which can remove

And sink the mountain to a plain;
Give me the child-like praying love,
Which longs to build thy house again;
Thy love let it my heart o'erpower,
And all my simple soul devour.
2 I want an even strong desire,

I want a calmly-fervent zeal,
To save poor souls out of the fire,

To snatch them from the verge of hell, And turn them to a pardoning God, And quench the brands in Jesu's blood. 8 I would the precious time redeem,

And longer live for this alone,
To spend, and to be spent, for them

Who have not yet my Saviour known;
Fully on these my mission prove,
And only breathe, to breathe thy love.

JESUS, all-atozing Lamb,
Thine, and only thine, I am;
Take my body, spirit, soul;
Only thou possess the whole.

2 Thou my one thing needful be.
Let me ever cleave to thee;
Let me choose the better part;
Let me give thee all my heart.
3 Fairer than the sons of men,
Do not let me turn again,
Leave the fountain-head of bliss,
Stoop to creature-happiness.

4 Whom have I on earth below?
Thee, and only thee, I know;
Whom have I in heaven but thee?
Thou art all in all to me.

5 All my treasure is above,
All my riches is thy love:
Who the worth of love can tell?
Infinite, unsearchable !

6 Thou, O love, my portion art:
Lord, thou know'st my simple heart!
Other comforts I despise,
Love be all my paradise.

7 Nothing else can I require,
Love fills up my whole desire;
All thy other gifts remove,
Still thou giv'st me all in love!

FATHER, to thee my soul I lift,

My soul on thee depends,
Convinced that every perfect gift
From thee alone descends.

2 Mercy and grace are thine alone,
And power and wisdom too;
Without the Spirit of thy Son
We nothing good can do.

3 We cannot speak one useful word,
One holy thought conceive,
Unless, in answer to our Lord,
Thyself the blessing give.

4 His blood demands the purchased grace;

His blood's availing plea
Obtained the help for all our race,
And sends it down to me.

5 Thou all our works in us hast wrought; Our good is all divine;

The praise of every virtuous thought,
And righteous word, is thine.

6 From thee, through Jesus, we receive
The power on thee to call,
In whom we are, and move, and live;
Our God is all in all !

1 JESU, my Truth, my Way, My sure, unerring light, On thee my feeble steps I stay, Which thou wilt guide aright. 2 My Wisdom and my guide, My Counsellor thou art; O never let me leave thy side, Or from thy paths depart! 3 I lift my eyes to thee, Thou gracious, bleeding Lamb, That I may now enlightened be, And never put to shame.

4 Never will I remove

Out of thy hands my cause; But rest in thy redeeming love, And hang upon thy cross.

5 Teach me the happy art In all things to depend On thee; O never, Lord, depart, But love me to the end!

6 Still stir me up to strive With thee in strength divine; And every moment, Lord, revive This fainting soul of mine.

7 Persist to save my soul

Throughout the fiery hour, Till I am every whit made whole,

And show forth all thy power.

8 Through fire and water bring Into the wealthy place; And teach me the new song to sing, When perfected in grace.

9 O make me all like thee,

Before I hence remove! Settle, confirm, and stablish me, And build me up in love.

10 Let me thy witness live,

When sin is all destroyed; And then my spotless soul receive, And take me home to God.

3 In a dry land, behold, I place

My whole desire on thee, O Lord; And more I joy to gain thy grace, Than all earth's treasures can afford. 4 More dear than life itself, thy love My heart and tongue shall still employ ;

And to declare thy praise will prove My peace, my glory, and my joy. 5 In blessing thee with grateful songs My happy life shall glide away; The praise that to thy name belongs Hourly with lifted hands I'll pay. 6 Abundant sweetness, while I sing Thy love, my ravished heart o'erflows;

Secure in thee, my God and King, Of glory that no period knows. 7 Thy name, O God, upon my bed Dwells on my lips, and fires my thought;

With trembling awe, in midnight shade,

I muse on all thy hands have wrought. 8 In all I do I feel thine aid;

Therefore thy greatness will I sing, O God, who bidd'st my heart be glad Beneath the shadow of thy wing!

9 My soul draws nigh and cleaves to thee:

Then let or earth or hell assail, Thy mighty hand shall set me free; For whom thou sav'st, he ne'er shall fail.
