The Heart’s Surrender

Jesus calls us to His serv­ice

Call us to it now;

Bids us leave our sins and fol­lies

And the world’s vain show;

Bids us do the work of du­ty

Work and watch and pray;

Work for Him who died to save us

Work while it is day.

Shall His voice in vain ad­dress us?

Can we still de­lay?

No

with ear­nest faith­ful pur­pose

We will now ob­ey;

Selfish coun­sels firm re­ject­ing

No more led as­tray;

We will do the work of du­ty

Work

while it is day.

Jesus

Son of God our Fa­ther

Holy One di­vine

Heart and life we here sur­ren­der

To be whol­ly Thine;

Cross

and crown and grace

our sym­bols:

Cross

to vanquish sin;

Crown

to fix our gaze on Heav­en

Grace

to let us in.
