Author: Charles William Schaeffer, 1813 - 96; Johann Jacob Rambach, 1693 - 1735 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, to thee I now surrender
All I have, and all I am.
Make my heart more true and tender,
Glorify in me thy Name.
Let obedience, let obedience
To thy will be all my aim.
2 Gracious God, all thou hast spoken
In this covenant shall take place;
But if I, alas, have broken
These my vows, hide not thy face;
And from falling, and from falling,
O restore me by thy grace! A-men.
3 Help me in this high endeavor,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;
Bind my heart to thee for ever
Till I join the heavenly host.
Living, dying, living, dying,
Let me make in thee my boast.
Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ Consecration; Sacraments and Rites Confirmation Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS (HOLYWOOD)
