Text:	It shall be Now
Author:	Annie W. Marston
Tune:	WHITCHESTER
Composer:	Dr. E. J. Bellerby

1 It shall be now; Lord, from my heart I say it;
No longer will I wait;
No longer will I slight Thy love and patience,
So wonderfully great.

2 It shall be now, that I will yield unto Thee
The last unyielded thing;
Here I renounce my right to self dominion,
And now I crown Thee King!

3 It shall be now, and Thou wilt gladly take me,
In spite of all my sin;
Now that Thou wilt unto Thyself receive me,
And cleanse my heart within.

4 It shall be now, and here, my Lord and Master,
That Thou shalt have Thy way;
And Thou wilt set Thy seal, the bond confirming,
Which I have signed today.
