Savior While My Heart Is Tender

savior, while my heart is tender,
i would yield that heart to thee;
all my powers to thee surrender,
thine and only thine to be.

take me now, lord jesus, take me;
let my youthful heart be thine;
thy devoted servant make me;
fill my soul with love divine.

send me, lord, where thou wilt send me,
only do thou guide my way;
may thy grace through life attend me,
gladly then shall i obey.

let me do thy will or bear it;
i would know no will but thine;
shouldst thou take my life or spare it,
i that life to thee resign.

may this solemn consecration
never once forgotten be;
let it know no revocation,
registered and confirmed by thee.

thine i am, o lord, for ever
to thy service set apart;
suffer me to leave thee never,
seal thine image on my heart.
