Author: Johann S. C. Welhaven; George T. Rygh, 1860-1942 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4019 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Lord of spirits, I surrender
For Thy use Thy gifts to me:
O but show Thy mercy tender
When my song no more shall be;
More and more my heart’s aflutter
With the thoughts I may not utter,
While life’s riddle great I ponder.
2. Let my laurels in oblivion
Turn to dust, I shall rejoice
If my soul, renewed, is given
There to sing with sacred voice,
If, in accents pure and glorious,
I may join the hymn victorious
At Thy throne to harps of Heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: LORD OF SPIRITS
Lord of Spirits, I Surrender
