Take My Heart, O Jesus, Work Its Stony Soil

Author: P. C. Paulsen Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #627 (1930) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Take my heart, O Jesus, work its stony soil, Long I have been weary of this fruitless toil; Ev'ry cherished method of my own device And the hardest labor will no more suffice. 2 Once I spurned Thee, Savior, in my self-conceit, Now behold my spirit, broken with defeat. Lord, I can but offer Thee a barren heart; Take it and salvation by Thy grace impart. 3 Let Thy Holy Spirit with the Word of God Crush the stone to pieces, break the hardened sod; Let Him work it deeply till the soil is sound, Till it serves Thy purpose as a fertile ground. 4 Go then forth, O Sower, sow Thy precious seed, Showers freely scatter, to its care give heed; Smother thorns and thistles, guard it from the foe, Lest he in the darkness come his tares to sow. 5 Thou hast shown me mercy with a love untold, Grant that I may yield Thee fruit a hundredfold; What a day of glory, what a day of gain, When the reapers carry home the golden grain!
