270 Even Me. 8s & 7s.
_Self-Consecration._ (524)
Take me, oh, my Father! take me, Take me, save me, through thy Son; That which thou would'st have me, make me, Let thy will in me be done.
2 Long from thee my footsteps straying, Th.o.r.n.y proved the way I trod; Weary come I now, and praying-- Take me to thy love, my G.o.d!
3 Fruitless years with grief recalling, Humbly I confess my sin; At thy feet, O Father! falling, To thy household take me in.
4 Freely now to thee I proffer This relenting heart of mine; Freely, life and soul I offer-- Gift unworthy love like thine.
5 Once the world's Redeemer dying, Bore our sins upon the tree; On that sacrifice relying, Now I look in hope to thee.
6 Father! take me; all forgiving, Fold me to thy loving breast; In thy hope forever living, I must be forever blest!
Ray Palmer, 1865.
271 Ferguson. S.M.
_Restore My Peace._ (637)
O Jesus! full of grace, To thee I make my moan: Let me again behold thy face-- Call home thy banished one.
2 Again my pardon seal, Again my soul restore, And freely my backslidings heal, And bid me sin no more.
3 Thine utmost mercy show; Say to my drooping soul-- In peace and full a.s.surance go; Thy faith hath made thee whole.
Charles Wesley, 1756.
272 I Cannot Do Without Thee. 7s & 6s.
_Dependence on Christ._
I cannot do without thee, O Savior of the lost!
Whose precious blood redeemed me At such tremendous cost.
Cho.--I cannot, would not, Dare not, could not, Will not do without thee.
I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own.
2 I cannot do without thee, I cannot stand alone; I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own.
3 I cannot do without thee, I do not know the way; Thou knowest and thou leadest, And wilt not let me stray.
4 I cannot do without thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon, in solemn loneliness, The river must be pa.s.sed.
Frances H. Havergal, Alt.
273 Ferguson. S.M.
_Absorbed in Christ._ (635)
Mine eyes and my desire Are ever to the Lord; I love to plead his promises, And rest upon his word.
2 Lord, turn thee to my soul; Bring thy salvation near; When will thy hand release my feet From sin's destructive snare?
3 When shall the sov'reign grace Of my forgiving G.o.d Restore me from those dangerous ways My wand'ring feet have trod?
4 Oh, keep my soul from death, Nor put my hope to shame; For I have placed my only trust In my Redeemer's name.
Isaac Watts, 1719.
274 Trusting. 7s.
_At the Cross._ (694)
I am coming to the cross; I am poor, and weak, and blind; I am counting all but dross; I shall thy salvation find.
Cho.--I am trusting, Lord, in thee, Blest Lamb of Calvary; Humbly at thy cross I bow; Save me, Jesus, save me now.
2 Long my heart has sighed for thee; Long has evil reigned within; Jesus sweetly speaks to me-- I will cleanse you from all sin.
3 Here I give my all to thee-- Friends, and time, and earthly store; Soul and body thine to be-- Wholly thine--forevermore.
4 In the promises I trust; Now I feel the blood applied; I am prostrate in the dust; I with Christ am crucified.
5 Jesus comes! he fills my soul!
Perfected in love I am!
I am ev'ry whit made whole; Glory! glory to the Lamb!
Wm. McDonald.
275 I'll Live for Him. P.M.
_Dedication of Self._
My life, my love I give to thee, Thou Lamb of G.o.d, who died for me; Oh, may I ever faithful be My Savior and my G.o.d.
Cho.--I'll live for him who died for me, How happy, then, my life shall be!
I'll live for him who died for me, My Savior and my G.o.d.
2 I now believe thou dost receive, For thou hast died that I might live; And now henceforth I'll trust in thee, My Savior and my G.o.d.
3 Oh, thou who died on Calvary, To save my soul and make me free, I consecrate my life to thee, My Savior and my G.o.d.
