529. Saviour, Thy dying love

1 Saviour, Thy dying love
Thou gavest me:
Nor should I aught withhold,
Dear Lord, from Thee:
In love my soul would bow,
My heart fulfill its vow,
Some offering bring Thee now,
Something for Thee.

2 O'er the blest mercy-seat,
Pleading for me,
My feeble faith looks up,
Jesus, to Thee:
Help me the cross to bear,
Thy wondrous love declare,
Some song to raise, or prayer,
Something for Thee.

3 Give me a faithful heart--
Likeness to Thee,
That each departing day
Henceforth may see
Some work of love begun,
Some deed of kindness done,
Some wanderer sought and won,
Something for Thee.

4 All that I am and have--
Thy gifts so free--
In joy, in grief, through life,
Dear Lord, for Thee:
And when Thy face I see,
My ransomed soul shall be,
Through all eternity,
Something for Thee.

Amen.
