Lyrics

Help me, dear Lord, to con­se­crate
Myself, my all to Thee,
And pros­trate fall at Thy dear feet,
Thine, on­ly Thine, to be.

Refrain

Help me, dear Sav­ior, Thee to own,
And ev­er faith­ful be
And when Thou sit­test on Thy throne,
O Lord, re­mem­ber me.

My heart and mind, my life, my all,
To Thee, O Lord, I give;
Since Thou hast bought them with Thy blood,
Thine own, Lord, now re­ceive.

Refrain

Then shall my days be crowned with peace,
My nights with praise be filled,
And self be swal­lowed up in Christ,
O glo­ri­ous vic­to­ry!
