1 The Savior said in pleading tones,
"My child, give me thy heart;"
I heard the call, and timidly
Replied, "I'll give Thee part."

Chorus:
Oh, doubting heart! Oh, faithless heart!
Accept the Savior's call;
The sweetest peace you'll only know
When you have given all.

2 Again He spoke; I knew the voice;
It pleaded as before;
My selfish spirit would not break;
I said, "I'll give Thee more." [Chorus]

3 At last His pleading won my heart,
I yielded to His call;
"Forgive my stubborn will," I cried;
"Dear Lord, I give Thee all." [Chorus]
