40. A Hymn of Consecration

1 I consecrate to Jesus now
My heart, my life, my all,
My dearest wish to do His will,
To hear His blest call;
My voice shall ever tell His praise,
His work shall fill my hands,
Ev’ry moment I’ll be ready
To heed His commands.

Refrain:
My heart, my life, my all,
I consecrate to Thee;
O Saviour, help me, as I strive,
More live Thyself to be.

2 I’ll follow where the Saviour leads,
For He doth know the way,
And thro’ the clouds that shadow me
His love sheds its ray;
Where’er I go, I know that He
Will ever be my Guide,
And I pray that I may always
Keep close by His side. [Refrain]

3 I cannot do without Thee, Lord,
I need Thee ev’ry hour,
I need to lean on Thee for strength,
Depend on Thy pow’r;
O Saviour, come and dwell in me,
And make my heart Thy throne,
For my life and all are Thine, Lord,
Forever Thine own. [Refrain]
