219. Savior, while my Heart is Tender

1 Savior, while my heart is tender,
I would yield that heart to Thee;
All my pow'rs 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.

2 Send me, Lord, where Thou wilt send me,
Only do Thou guide my way,
May Thy grace thro' 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.

3 May this solemn consecration
Never once forgotten be;
Let it know no revocation,
Registered, confirmed by Thee.
Thine I am, O Lord, forever
To Thy service set apart;
Suffer me to leave Thee never,
Seal Thine image on my heart.
