Joy to the World ‎#222

222. Yielding

1 And can I yet delay
My little all to give?
To tear my soul from earth away
For Jesus to receive?

Chorus:
I am coming, Lord,
Coming now to thee;
Wash me, cleanse me in the blood
That flowed on Calvary.

2 Nay, but I yield, I yield;
I can hold out no more:
I sink, by dying love compell'd,
And own thee conqueror. [Chorus]

3 Though late, I all forsake;
My friends, my all, resign:
Gracious Redeemer, take, O take,
And seal me ever thine. [Chorus]

4 Come, and posses me whole,
Nor hence again remove;
Settle and fix my wav'ring soul
With all thy weight of love. [Chorus]
