Text: | O the Bitter Shame and Sorrow |

Tune: | TETWORTH |
Composer: | George M. Garrett |
1 O the bitter shame and sorrow,
That a time could ever be
When I let the Saviour’s pity
Plead in vain, and proudly answered:
All of self, and none of Thee!
2 Yet He found me; I beheld Him
Bleeding on the accursed tree,
Heard Him pray, Forgive them, Father!
And my wistful heart said faintly,
Some of self, and some of Thee!
3 Day by day His tender mercy,
Healing, helping, full and free,
Sweet and strong, and, ah! so patient,
Brought me lower, while I whispered:
Less of self, and more of Thee!
4 Higher than the highest heaven,
Deeper than the deepest sea,
Lord, Thy love at last hath conquered;
Grant me now my supplication,–
None of self and all of Thee!
AMEN.
