Lyrics

I have heard Thy voice, Lord Je­sus,
Saying in Thy grace divine:
Fear thou not, I have redeemed thee;
I have called thee, thou art Mine.

Lord, I bring Thee full allegiance!
Therefore now to Thee I sing,
Answering, Yea, Thou hast redeemed me;
I am Thine, my Lord, my king!

I have nothing worth Thy taking,
Thou, whom heav’nly hosts adore,
But my heart is longing, yearning,
To be Thine for­ev­er­more.
So I come to Thee, Lord Je­sus,
Laying in surrender meet
All I am, and have, and hope for,
All I love, at Thy dear feet.

Yet the offerings here are humble,
Which Thy children bring to Thee,
And their best and sweetest praises
Are but rendered falteringly.
But our song shall be triumphant,
When Thy glo­ry we shall see:
All for Je­sus! All for Je­sus!
Now and through eternity.
