1. O God my heart doth long for thee,
Let me die, Let me die.
Now set my soul at liberty,
Let me die, Let me die.
To all the trifling things of earth,
They're now to me of little worth,
My Savior calls, I'm going forth,
Let me die, Let me die.
2. Thy slaying power in me display,
Let me die, Let me die.
I must be dead from day to day,
Let me die, Let me die.
Unto the world and its applause,
To all the customs, fashions, laws,
Of those who hate the humbling cross.
Let me die, Let me die.
3. My friends may say, "I'll ruined be,"
Let me die, Let me die.
But all I leave, and follow thee,
Let me die, Let me die.
Their arguments will never weigh,
Nor stand the trying judgement day,
Help me to cast them all away.
Let me die, Let me die.
4. O, I must die, to scoffs and jeers,
Let me die, Let me die.
I must be freed from slavish fears,
Let me die, Let me die.
So dead that no desire shall rise
To pass for good, or great, or wise,
In any but my Savior's eyes!
Let me die, Let me die. |
5. If Christ would live and reign in me,
I must die, I must die:
Like him I crucified must be;
I must die, I must die.
Lord, drive the nails, nor heed the groans,
My flesh may writhe and make its moans,
But in this way, and this alone,
I must die, I must die.
6. Begin at once to drive the nails,
Let me die, let me die:
O, suffer not my heart to rail,
Let me die, let me die.
Jesus I look to thee for power,
To help me to endure the hour,
When, crucified, by sovereign power,
I shall die, I shall die.
7. When I am dead, then, Lord, to thee
I shall live, I shall live:
My time, my strength, my all to thee,
Will I give, will I give.
O, may the Son now make me free!
Here, Lord, I give my all to thee
For time and for eternity,
I will live, I will live. |
