My Gift to Jesus

lyricist: Clara Smith, 1891
Composer: William Cooper

Take my heart and let it be

Cleansed from all im­pur­ity;

Fill it then with love di­vine

Make it

O my Lord

like Thine.

Lord

I give to Thee my will

Speak the word

Oh peace

be still;

There shall be no more a strife

With Thy will

O Christ

my life.

Take my heart and let it be

Cleansed from all impurity;

Fill it

too

with love di­vine;

Make it

O my Lord

like Thine.

Lead me

Lord

where Thou shalt choose;

Nevermore will I re­fuse

Thee the right to reign with­in

O my Sav­ior

from all sin.

All is on the al­tar laid;

And my faith on Thee is stayed;

Now

O Lord

I wait the fire

Burning ev­ery base desire.

Now I feel the blood ap­plied;

Let me

Christ

in Thee abide;

Walk with me from day to day;

Lead me

Sav­ior

all the way.

Savior

this my gift to Thee;

Greater Thine

O Lord

to me—

Thy rich grace in me to dwell

This as­sur­ance

All is well.
