Now to the fount­ain of life I am go­ing,
Jesus, I pray Thee, make me Thine.

Refrain

Wholly Thine, whol­ly Thine,
Seal and keep me Thine;
Wholly Thine, whol­ly Thine,
Keep me whol­ly Thine.

All I sur­ren­der to Thee, O my Sav­ior,
All to Thy so­ver­eign will di­vine.

O what a full­ness of love He has grant­ed,
O what a rap­ture, Lord, is mine.

Now I am trust­ing the words of Thy pro­mise,
Thou hast re­deemed me, I am Thine
