All, all Thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind. I see Thy cross– there teach my heart to cling; O let me seek Thee, and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh; Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear; To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love Thee as Thy angels love, One holy passion filling all my frame– The baptism of the heaven-descended Dove; My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.

But yet with thee forgiveness is, that feared though mayest be. 3 I wait for God, my soul doth wait, my hope is in his word. More than they that for morning watch, my soul waits for the Lord; 4 I say, more than they that do watch the morning light to see.
