Dead to the World

Representative Text

1 A full surrender now I make,
Accept it, Lord, for Jesus’ sake;
Willing to be, or not to be,
Whatever seemeth good to thee.

Chorus:
Dead to the world, O may I be
Content to follow only thee!
May all of self in me be slain,
And thou alone supremely reign.

2 Jesus, on thee I now depend,
Come, Holy Ghost on me descend;
And may I ev’ry promise prove,
Until my soul is lost in love. [Chorus]

3 Jesus, my Lord, my life, my all,
I’ll follow thee at ev’ry call,
And thine the glory all shall be,
In time and thro’ eternity. [Chorus]
