All to Thee, all to Thee, Life and all the Thee; Help me to yield, this very hour, My life and all to Thee. 3 To yield the whole and not a part, Is my most earnest pray’r; Come, Thou, and cleanse my froward heart, And reign forever there. Cleanse my heart, cleanse my heart, Feign forever there; Come, Thou, and cleanse my froward heart, And reign forever there. 4 Should anything e’er seem to stand, Between Thy heart and mine, Spare not the chast’ning of Thy hand, Till I am wholly Thine. Wholly Thine, wholly Thine, Till I’m wholly Thine; Spare not the chast’ning of Thy hand, Till I am wholly Thine. 5 Then, when on earth my work is past, And I have reach’d the goal, Oh, bear me to my home at last, An humble, grateful soul. Bear me home, bear me home, To my heav’nly home; Oh bear me to my home at last, An humble, grateful soul. 6 A palm of victory I’ll bear, Of vict’ry over sin; And I shall tell the angels there, How Jesus took me in. Tell them there, tell them there, Jesus took me in; Oh, I shall tell the angels there, How Jesus took me in. Scripture: Mark 9:24 Used With Tune: [Dear Lord, increase my faith, I pray]
