Oh, that I could at last submit At Jesus' feet to lay it down, To lay my soul at Jesus' feet! 2 Rest for my soul I long to find: Saviour, if mine indeed Thou art, Give me Thy meek and lowly mind, And stamp Thine image on my heart. 3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin, And fully set my spirit free; I cannot res till pure within, Till I am wholly lost in Thee. 4 Fain would I learn of Thee, my God, Thy light and easy burden prove, The cross all stain'd with hallow'd blood The labor of Thy dying love. 5 I would; but Thou must give the power. My heart from every sin release; Bring near, bring near the joyful hour, And fill me with Thy perfect peace.
