I Would Be Thine, O Take My Heart

I would be Thine; O take my heart,

And fill it with Thy love;

Thy sacred image, Lord, impart,

And seal it from above.

I would be Thine; but while I strive

To give myself away,

I feel rebellion still alive,

And wander while I pray.

I would be Thine: but, Lord, I feel

Evil still lurks within:—

Do Thou Thy majesty reveal,

And overcome my sin.

I would be Thine; I would embrace

The Saviour, and adore;

Inspire with faith, infuse thy grace,

And now my soul restore.
