Hymnal: Joyful Songs #14 (1875) Lyrics: What can I give to Jesus, Who gave himself for me? How can I show my love for him Who died on Calvary? 1 I'll give my heart to Jesus, In childhood's tender Spring; I know that he will not despise So mean an offering. What can I give to Jesus, Who gave himself for me? How can I show my love for him Who died on Calvary? 2 I'll give my soul to Jesus, And calmly, gladly rest, Its youthful hopes and fond desires Upon his loving breast. What can I give to Jesus, Who gave himself for me? How can I show my love for him Who died on Calvary? 3 I'll give my mind to Jesus, And seek in thoughtful hours, His spirits grace to consecrate Its early op'ning pow'rs. What can I give to Jesus, Who gave himself for me? How can I show my love for him Who died on Calvary? 4 I'll give my strength to Jesus, Of foot, and head, and will, Run where he sends and ever strive His pleasure to fulfil. What can I give to Jesus, Who gave himself for me? How can I show my love for him Who died on Calvary? 5 I'll give my time to Jesus, Oh, that each hour might be Filled up with holy work for him, Who spent his life for me. What can I give to Jesus, Who gave himself for me? How can I show my love for him Who died on Calvary? 6 I'll give my all to Jesus, 'Tis little I possess; But all I am, and all I have, Dear Lord, accept and bless.
