Jesus, who upon the tree
Wast an offering for me,
Take this throbbing heart of mine,—
Lay it on thy holy shrine.
As thy love accepteth naught
Save what love itself hath wrought,
Offer thou my sacrifice,
Else to heaven it can not rise.
Take away my erring will;
All my wayward passions kill;
Tear my heart from out my heart,
Though it cost me bitter smart.
Fain were I of self bereft,
Naught but thee within me left;
Living sacrifice I am,
Offered only in thy name.
