If my beloved Thou dost remove
Please give Thyself to me;
If Thou distrust me and reprove
Please give Thyself to me.
Lord Jesus
dearest Savior
Give Thyself more to me;
I’d give Thee full obedience—
Give Thyself more to me.
Thou who my hope confusion makes
Please give Thyself to me;
Who lets my feelings fluctuate
Please give Thyself to me.
Though all I trust Thou dost remove;
Please give Thyself to me.
Though ev’ry prayer Thou dost refuse
Please give Thyself to me.
If I must wait another day
Yet give Thyself to me;
If Thou Thy coming dost delay
Add Thyself more to me.
