I’ve turned from the world and its follies,
Forever forsaken all sin;
I’ve given myself unto Jesus
To ever and only serve Him.
I’ll put my whole heart in His service,
And do all he asketh of me;
I mean to live holy and blameless—
A Christian indeed will I be.
I will not be languid or careless,
Or formal, or cold, or untrue;
But, striving with earnest endeavor,
The will of my Lord I will do.
I’ll put my whole heart in His service,
And do all he asketh of me;
I mean to live holy and blameless—
A Christian indeed will I be.
Since Jesus gave all to redeem me,
Since only through mercy I live,
It now is my joy and my purpose
A wholehearted service to give.
I’ll put my whole heart in His service,
And do all he asketh of me;
I mean to live holy and blameless—
A Christian indeed will I be.
Oh, help me, dear Lord, to be ready
The task that Thou givest to do,
Not shrinking from labor or duty,
Devoted and faithful and true.
I’ll put my whole heart in His service,
And do all he asketh of me;
I mean to live holy and blameless—
A Christian indeed will I be.
