1 O Jesus, delight of my soul,
My Shepherd, my Savior divine!
I yield to thy blessed control:
My body and spirit are thine.
2 Thy love I can never deserve,
That bids me happy in thee;
My God and my King I will serve,
Whose favor is heaven to me.
3 How can I thy goodness replay,
By nature so weak and defiled?
Myself I have given away;
O, call me thine own little child.
4 And art thou my Father above?
Will Jesus abide in my heart?
O, bind me so fast in thy love,
That from thee I never shall part.
