Lyrics

Lord, I am wait­ing at Thy feet,
My con­se­cra­tion is com­plete;
Nothing from Thee would I with­hold,
Let me Thy glo­ri­ous face be­hold.

Refrain

Emptied of self, and filled with Thee,
Spirit of God, ab­ide with me;
Help me to die to self and sin,
Spirit di­vine, come in, come in!

Weary of bat­tles fought with­in,
Save me and cleanse me from all sin;
This is my long­ing, my de­sire;
Come, Thou re­fin­ing, cleans­ing fire.

Refrain

Nothing of mer­it can I bring,
Trustingly to Thy cross I cling;
Spirit of God, I bid Thee come,
Make my poor heart Thy roy­al throne.

Refrain

All that I have I give to Thee,
All that I am eter­nal­ly;
Nothing with­hold­ing, all is Thine,
Reign Thou with­in this heart of mine.
