And can I yet delay
My little all to give?
To tear my soul from earth away
For Jesus to receive?
Nay, but I yield, I yield;
I can hold out no more;
I sink, by dying love compelled,
And own Thee Conqueror.
Though late, I all forsake;
My friends, my all, resign;
Gracious Redeemer, take, O take,
And seal me ever Thine!
Come, and possess me whole,
Nor hence again remove;
Settle and fix my wavering soul
With all Thy weight of love.
My one desire be this,
Thy love to fully know:
Nor seek I longer other bliss,
Or other good below.
My life, my portion thou;
Thou all sufficient art:
My hope, my heavenly treasure, now
Enter, and keep my heart.
---Alternative verses---
And can I yet delay
My little all to give?
To wean my soul from earth away
For Jesus to receive?
My one desire be this,
Thy love to fully know:
To seek and taste no other bliss,
Or other good below.
