Savior, While My Heart Is Tender

lyricist: John Burton, Jr., 1850
Composer: Old French melody

Savior

while my heart is ten­der

I would yield that heart to Thee;

All my pow­ers to Thee sur­ren­der

Thine and on­ly Thine to be.

Take me now

Lord Je­sus

take me;

Let my youth­ful heart be Thine;

Thy de­vot­ed serv­ant make me;

Fill my soul with love di­vine.

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.

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.

May this so­lemn con­se­cra­tion

Never once for­got­ten be;

Let it know no re­vo­ca­tion

Registered and con­firmed by Thee.

Thine I am

O Lord

for ev­er

To Thy serv­ice set apart;

Suffer me to leave Thee nev­er

Seal Thine im­age on my heart.
