The Kingdom of Praise ‎#44

44. Blessed surrender

1 Blessed surrender; life’s little all
Yielding to Jesus, hearing His call,
As once it sounded over the sea,
Calling the fishers, “Come unto Me.”

Refrain:
Blessed surrender, so happy, so free,
When Christ the Saviour is calling to me;
Glory, all glory, I walk not alone;
Jesus will keep me forever His own.

2 Blessed surrender; pleasure and pain,
Left to His choosing, loss shall be gain;
Love everlasting, wisdom and pow’r,
Guiding my footsteps, blessing each hour. [Refrain]

3 Blessed surrender; though weak and frail,
Yet shall His mercies nevermore fail;
Wondrous salvation! grace that exceeds
All human asking, all mortal needs. [Refrain]
