Seal My Heart

Representative Text

1 Seal my heart with Thy for­give­ness,
Pledge of love and grace di­vine;
Make me now Thy child for­ev­er,
Consecrate me whol­ly Thine.

Refrain:
Seal my heart with Thy for­give­ness, Lord;
Let me wear that pledge of love di­vine;
Make me now Thy child for­ev­er,
Consecrate me whol­ly Thine.

2 I have wan­dered, Lord, Thou know­est;
Far away my feet have strayed;
Yet, r­epent­ing, oh! re­ceive me;
On the cross my hope is stayed. [Refrain]

3 Trembling, weep­ing, yet be­liev­ing,
Lo! I come, with this my plea:
"Christ, the Sav­ior, died for sin­ners";
Christ, the Sav­ior, died for me. [Refrain]

4 All I have is on Thy al­tar,
All my love with­out re­serve;
All I have I yield with plea­sure,
Every pow­er my God to serve. [Refrain]
