76. Give your Heart to Jesus

1 Would you be forever blest?
Give your heart to Jesus;
Would you find the balm of rest?
Give your heart to Jesus.

Refrain:
Do not linger, do not wait;
Yonder stands the open gate;
Enter ere it be too late;
Give your heart to Jesus.

2 Would you dwell in heav’n above?
Give your heart to Jesus;
Would you meet with those you love?
Give your heart to Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Now His pard’ning grace receive,
Give your heart to Jesus;
On His precious name believe,
Give your heart to Jesus. [Refrain]
