Lyrics

A will so yield­ed, give me, Lord,
In things both great and small,
That I may heark­en to Thy word
The mo­ment Thou dost call,
That ’twixt my heart and Thine may be
A won­drous heav­en­ly har­mo­ny.

Refrain

Then, tune my heart to Thine, dear Lord,
Yes, tune me, Lord, to Thee,
That ev­ery wish of Thine, dear Lord,
May find re­sponse in me.

A mind so like Thine own give me
That ev­ery thought there­in
May have its ori­gin in Thee
Without a taint of sin,
That ’twixt my heart and Thine may be
A won­drous heav­en­ly har­mo­ny.

Refrain

A burn­ing love like thine im­part,
Revealed on Cal­va­ry,
That men thro’ me may see the heart
Which loves eter­nal­ly;
That ’twixt my heart and Thine may be
A won­drous heav­en­ly har­mo­ny.
