Lord Jesus, I would live for Thee,
Yea, live for Thee alone.
Since Thou hast shed Thy blood for me
I would not be mine own.
Then take me, Lord, and let me be
In deed, in word, and thought
A life intent on pleasing Thee
And doing as I ought.
Yea, let me speak the kindly word
And do that deed of love.
Then Thou, at last, Oh take me Lord
To dwell with Thee above.
