Representative Text

1 O Savior mine, so full, so free,
Thy pard'ning love has been to me;
Were I possessed of boundless store,
My heart would long to yield Thee more.

Refrain:
The world is naught apart from Thee, O Savior mine,
And crusts are kingly fare for me since I am Thine;
My life, my all, to Thee I give,
O Savior mine, for Thee to live;
My life, my all, to thee I give,
O Savior mine, for Thee to live.

2 O Savior mine, Thy feet to kiss
In service low is highest bliss,
O give to me one glance of Thine,
And pain for Thee is joy divine. [Refrain]

3 O Savior mine, can I withhold
The trifling deed, the paltry gold?
Nay, lowly at Thy feet I fall;
O Savior mine, I give Thee all. [Refrain]
