Author: Theodore Monod, 1836- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #314 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O the bitter shame and sorrow,
That a time could ever be,
When I let the Saviour's pity
Plead in vain, and proudly answered,
"All of self, and none of Thee!"
2 Yet He found me! I beheld Him
Bleeding on the accursed tree,
Heard Him pray, "Forgive them, Father!"
And my wistful heart said faintly,
"Some of self, and some of Thee!"
3 Day by day His tender mercy
Healing, helping, full and free,
Sweet and strong, and ah! so patient
Brought me lower, while I whispered,
"Less of self, and more of Thee!"
4 Higher than the highest heavens,
Deeper than the deepest sea,
Lord, Thy love at last has conquered,
Grant me now my supplication,
"None of self, and all of Thee!" Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism Languages: English Tune Title: ST. JUDE
