1 Is your cup of blessing now filled to the brim?
Or are you still holding some part?
There’s only one way to be happy in him,
Give Christ all the keys to your heart.
Chorus:
Yes, give him the keys, give Christ all the keys,
O do not hold back any part;
If you seek a blessing, you must all release,
Give Christ all the keys to your heart.
2 Would you be of service in God’s harvest field?
Just now are you ready to start?
The Savior will use you if now you will yield,
And give him the keys to your heart. [Chorus]
3 He’ll give you his pardon, he’ll save you from sin,
He’ll bid all your troubles depart;
If now you desire to be spotless within,
Give Christ all the keys to your heart. [Chorus]
4 Would you now be filled with the Spirit of God,
And happy wherever thou art?
Then make a surrender, get under the blood,
Give Christ all the keys to your heart. [Chorus]

Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill.
