Let Me be Thine

Author: W. Bennett Hymnal: The Bright Array #157 (1889) First Line: Thine, Lord, O may I be Lyrics: 1 Thine, Lord, O may I be, Teach me Thy will; Draw my cold heart to Thee, With rapture thrill; Banish my guilty fear, Dry every bitter tear, My troubled spirit cheer, Say, “Peace, be still.” 2 Keep me in danger’s hour Near to Thy side; On me Thy Spirit pour, With me abide; Bid every doubt depart, Fully possess my heart; Mine be that better part, In Thee to hide. 3 Thus shall I sweetly prove, While here below, Thy tender, dying love, Thee truly know; And when my work is done, When I the race have run, May glory’s crown be won, Sweet rest with Thee. Scripture: Mark 4:39 Tune Title: [Thine, Lord, O may I be]
