1 Is it for me, dear Savior,
Thy glory and Thy rest,--
For me, so weak and sinful?
O shall I be so blest?

Chorus:
O Savior, my Redeemer,
What can I but adore,
And magnify and praise Thee,
And love Thee evermore?

2 Is it for me, Thy welcome,
Thy gracious "Enter in"--
For me Thy "Come, ye blessed,"
For me so full of sin? [Chorus]

3 O Savior, precious Savior,
My heart is at Thy feet;
I bless Thee, and I love Thee,
And Thee I long to meet. [Chorus]

4 I’ll be with Thee forever,
And never grieve Thee more;
Dear Savior, I must praise Thee,
And love Thee evermore. [Chorus]
