Representative Text

1 O blessed Lord, to Thee I’m coming,
My little all to give to Thee;
My stubborn will I yield forever,
Have Thine own way, ‘tis best for me.

Refrain:
Have Thine own way, Lord, have Thine own way,
All on the altar I gladly lay;
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay,
Have Thine own way, have Thine own way.

2 I need Thy help, O blessed Saviour,
I’m tired of sin and doubt and fear;
My will to Thee I now surrender,
O blessed Lord, be ever near. [Refrain]

3 Let self die out, O Galilean,
My conquer’d heart forever Thine;
At one with Thee, O blest Redeemer,
Thou art my King, my Lord divine. [Refrain]
