1024. And can I yet delay

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

2 Nay, but I yield--I yield!
I can hold out no more:
I sink, by dying love compelled,
And own thee conqueror.

3 Though late, I all forsake,
My friends, my all resign;
Gracious Redeemer, take, oh, take,
And seal me ever thine.

4 Come, and possess me whole,
Nor hence again remove;
Settle and fix my wavering soul
With all thy weight of love.
