1 And can I yet delay
My little all to give?
To tear my soul from earth away

2 Nay, but I yield, I yield!
I can hold out no more.
I sink, by dying love compelled,
And own Thee, Conqueror!

3 Though late, I all forsake:
My friends, my all resign.
Gracious Redeemer, take, O take,
And seal me ever Thine!

4 Come, and possess me whole,
Nor thence again remove;
Settle and fix my wavering soul
With all Thy weight of love.

5 My one desire be this:
Thy only love to know,
To seek and taste no other bliss,
No other good below.
