Verse 1

Welcome, O Savior! to my heart;
Possess thine humble throne;
Bid every rival hence depart,
And claim me for thine own.

Verse 2

The world and Satan I forsake,--
To thee I all resign;
My longing heart, O Jesus! take,
And make it all divine.

Verse 3

Oh! may I never turn aside,
Nor from thy bosom flee;
Let nothing here my heart divide--
I give it all to thee.

Verse 1

My God! accept my heart this day,
And make it always thine,
That I from thee no more may stray,
No more from thee decline.

Verse 2

Before the cross of him who died,
Behold I prostrate fall;
Let every sin be crucified;
Let Christ be All in All.

Verse 3

May the dear blood, once shed for me,
My blest atonement prove,
That I, from first to last, may be
The purchase of thy love.

Verse 4

Let every thought, and work, and word,
To thee be ever given;
Then life shall be thy service, Lord!
And death the gate of heaven.

Verse 1

Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow thee;
Naked, poor, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my all shalt be!
Perish, every fond ambition,
All I’ve sought, or hoped, or known,
Yet how rich is my condition,
God and heaven are still my own!

Verse 2

Let the world despise and leave me--
They have left my Savior too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me--
Thou art not, like them, untrue.
And while thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate and friends disown me,
Show thy face and all is bright.

Verse 3

Go, then, earthly fame and treasure;
Come, disaster, scorn, and pain!
In thy service pain is pleasure,
With thy favor, loss is gain.
I have called thee, Abba, Father,
I have set my heart on thee;
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather--
All must work for good to thee.

Verse 4

Haste thee on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith, and winged by prayer;
Heaven’s eternal day’s before thee,
God’s own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Verse 1

In thy service will I ever,
Jesus, my Redeemer, stay;
Nothing me from thee shall sever,
Gladly would I go thy way.
Yes, Lord Jesus, I am ever
Thine in sorrow and in joy;
Death the union shall not sever,
Nor eternity destroy.

Verse 2

Let thy light on me be shining
When the day is almost gone,
When the evening is declining,
And the night is drawing on:
Bless me, oh, my Savior! laying
Thy hands on my weary head;
“Here thy day is ended,” saying,
“Yonder live the faithful dead.”

Verse 3

Stay beside me, when the stillness
And the icy touch of death
Fill my trembling soul with chillness,
Like the morning’s frosty breath;
As my failing eyes grow dimmer,
Let my spirit grow more bright,
As I see the first faint glimmer
Of the everlasting light.

Verse 1

Lord! I hear of showers of blessing,
Thou art scattering, broad and free;
Showers, the thirsty land refreshing;
Let their fullness fall on me.

Refrain

Even me, even me,
Let their fullness fall on me.

Verse 2

Pass me not, oh, gracious Father!
Sinful, though my heart may be;
Thou might’st curse me, but the rather
Let thy mercy fall on me.

Verse 3

Pass me not, oh, tender Savior!
Let me love and cling to thee;
I am longing for thy favor;
When thou comest, call for me.

Verse 4

Pass me not, oh, mighty Spirit!
Thou canst make the blind to see;
Witnesser of Jesus’ merit,
Speak the word of power to me.

Verse 5

Have I long in sin been sleeping,
Long been slighting, grieving thee?
Has the world my heart been keeping?
Oh! forgive and rescue me.

Verse 6

Love of God, so pure and changeless,--
Blood of God, so rich and free,--
Grace of God, so strong and boundless,--
Magnify them all in me.

Verse 1

Take me, oh, my Father! take me,
Take me, save me, through thy Son;
That which thou would’st have me, make me,
Let thy will in me be done.

Verse 2

Long from thee my footsteps straying,
Thorny proved the way I trod;
Weary come I now, and praying--
Take me to thy love, my God!

Verse 3

Fruitless years with grief recalling,
Humbly I confess my sin;
At thy feet, O Father! falling,
To thy household take me in.

Verse 4

Freely now to thee I proffer
This relenting heart of mine;
Freely, life and soul I offer--
Gift unworthy love like thine.

Verse 5

Once the world’s Redeemer dying,
Bore our sins upon the tree;
On that sacrifice relying,
Now I look in hope to thee.

Verse 6

Father! take me; all forgiving,
Fold me to thy loving breast;
In thy hope forever living,
I must be forever blest!

Verse 1

Take my heart, dear Jesus,
Make it all thine own,
Let thy Holy Spirit
Break this heart of stone,
And make me all thine own.

Ev’ry moment more like thee;
At thy feet I bow;
Take my heart just now,
And make me all thine own.

Take my heart, dear Jesus,
Make it pure and clean;
Let thy blood, still flowing,
Wash away my sin,
And make me pure and clean.

Take my heart, dear Jesus,
Make it white as snow;
May the cleansing fountain,
May the precious flow,
Still keep me white as snow.

Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee;
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of thy love.

Wash me in the Savior’s precious blood, the precious blood,
Cleanse me in its purifying flood, the healing flood,
Lord, I give to thee my life and all, to be
Thine, henceforth, eternally.

Verse 2

Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee;
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only for my King

Verse 3

Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages for thee;
Take my silver and my gold--
Not a mite would I withhold.

Verse 4

Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise;
Take my intellect, and use
Ev’ry pow’r as thou shalt choose.

Verse 5

Take my will, and make it thine;
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart,--it is thine own,--
It shall be thy royal throne.

Verse 6

Take my love,--my Lord, I pour
At thy feet its treasure-store!
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee!

Verse 1

O holy Savior! Friend unseen,
Since on thine arm thou bid’st me lean,
Help me, throughout life’s changing scene,
By faith to cling to thee!

Refrain

Help me cling to thee, Savior,
Help me cling to thee!
Help me, throughout life’s changing scene,
By faith to cling to thee!

Verse 2

Without a murmur I dismiss
My former dreams of earthly bliss;
My joy, my recompense be this,
Each hour to cling to thee!

Though faith and hope are often tried,
I ask not, need not, aught beside;
So safe, so calm, so satisfied,
The soul that clings to thee!

I am thine, O Lord, I have heard thy voice,
And it told thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate me now to thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in thine.

Verse 3

O the pure delight of a single hour
That before thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in pray’r, and with thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend.

Verse 4

There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea,
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with thee.

Verse 1

Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole;
I want thee forever to live in my soul;
Break down ev’ry idol, cast out ev’ry foe;

Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Come now, and within me a new heart create;
To those who have sought thee, thou never said’st no--

In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Pure and white in the blood of the Lamb?

For all my night has passed away.

As on thy highest mount I stand,
I look away across the sea,
Where mansions are prepared for me,
And view the shining glory shore,
My heaven, my home forevermore.

And sweet communion here have we;

And flowers that never fading grow
Where streams of life forever flow.

Sweet sounds of heaven’s melody,
As angels, with the white-robed throng,
Join in the sweet redemption song.

Verse 1

I am dwelling on the mountain,
Where the golden sunlight gleams
O’er a land whose wondrous beauty
Far exceeds my fondest dreams;
Where the air is pure ethereal,
Laden with the breath of flow’rs,
They are blooming by the fountain,
’Neath the amaranthine bow’rs.

Refrain

Is not this land of Beulah,
Blessed, blessed land of light?
Where the flowers bloom forever,
And the sun is always bright.

Verse 2

I can see far down the mountains,
Where I wandered weary years,
Often hindered in my journey
By the ghosts of doubts and fears;
Broken vows and disappointments,
Thickly sprinkled all the way,
But the Spirit led unerring,
To the land I hold to-day.

Verse 3

I am drinking at the fountain,
Where I ever would abide;
For I’ve tasted life’s pure river,
And my soul is satisfied;
There’s no thirsting for life’s pleasures,
Nor adorning, rich and gay,
For I’ve found a richer treasure.
One that fadeth not away.

Verse 4

Tell me not of heavy crosses,
Nor the burdens hard to bear,
For I’ve found this great salvation
Makes each burden light appear;
And I love to follow Jesus,
Gladly counting all but dross,
Worldly honors all forsaking
For the glory of the cross.

Verse 5

Oh, the cross has wondrous glory!
Oft I’ve proved this to be true;
When I’m in the way so narrow
I can see a pathway thro’;
And how sweetly Jesus whispers:
Take the cross, thou need’st not fear,
For I’ve tried this way before thee.
And the glory lingers near.

To the cross where thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To thy precious, bleeding side.

That before thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in pray’r, and with thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend.

Till I cross the narrow sea,
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with thee.
