1 Now to thee I all surrender,
Grant thy cleansing to my soul;
While to the my life I’m bringing
Speak the words: “Thou art made whole.”

Refrain:
Now to thee I all surrender,
Thine forever would I be;
Now to thee I all surrender,
Lord I give myself to thee.

2 Now to thee I all surrender,
All my talent, time, and pow’r;
Grant, O Lord, my heart’s petition
Purge from sin this very hour. [Refrain]

3 Now to thee I all surrender,
Living, dying, thine to be;
Let me feel O Holy Spirit
Manifest thy pow’r in me. [Refrain]

4 Now to thee I all surrender,
I no more, but Christ in me;
Enter Lord take full possession
Thine forever would I be. [Refrain]

5 Now to thee I all surrender,
Use me in thy work O Lord;
“Well done, good and faithful servant”
This alone be my reward. [Refrain]

6 Now to thee I all surrender,
Things of earth to me are dross;
Thou, O Christ shall be my portion
Naught shall charm me but thy cross. [Refrain]
