Text:If so poor a soul as I
Author:Charles Wesley (1707-88)

492. If so poor a soul as I

1 If so poor a soul as I
May to thy great glory live,
All my actions sanctify,
All my words and thoughts receive;
Claim me for thy service, claim
All I have and all I am.

2 Take my soul and body’s powers,
Take my memory, mind and will,
All my goods and all my hours,
All I know and all I feel,
All I think or speak or do;
Take my heart, but make it new!

3 Now, O God, thine own I am,
Now I give thee back thine own;
Freedom, friends and health and fame
Consecrate to thee alone;
Thine I live, thrice happy I,
Happier still if thine I die.
