Author: Sylvanus Dryden Phelps, 1816 - 95 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #463 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, thy dying love
Thou gavest me,
Nor should I aught withhold,
Dear Lord, from thee;
In love my soul would bow,
My heart fulfill its vow,
Some offering bring thee now,
Something for thee.
2 O'er the blest mercy seat,
Pleading for me,
My feeble faith looks up,
Jesus, to thee;
Help me my cross to bear,
Thy wondrous love declare,
Some song to raise, or prayer,
Something for thee.
3 Give me a faithful heart,
Likeness to thee,
That each departing day
Henceforth may see
Some work of love begun,
Some deed of kindness done,
Some wanderer sought and won,
Something for thee.
4 All that I am and have,
Thy gifts so free,
In joy, in grief, through life,
Dear Lord, for thee;
And when thy face I see,
My ransomed soul shall be,
Through all eternity,
Something for thee. Topics: The Church Year Lent; The Life in Christ Petition and Intercession Languages: English Tune Title: SOMETHING FOR JESUS
