The Voice of Praise ‎#409

409. I would be thine; oh, take my heart

1 I would be thine; oh, take my heart,
And fill it with thy love;
Thy sacred image, Lord, impart
And seal it from above.

2 I would be thine; but while I strive
To give myself away,
I feel rebellion still alive,
And wander while I pray.

3 I would be thine; but, Lord, I feel
Evil still lurks within:
Do thou thy majesty reveal,
And overcome my sin.

4 I would be thine; I would embrace
The Saviour, and adore:
Inspire with faith, infuse thy grace,
And now my soul restore.
