Into Thy service, Lord,
Thou callest me;
Faithful in all my work
Help me to be;
Emptied of self and sin,
With only Christ within,
Aid me lost souls to win
From sin to Thee.
Thou gav’st Thyself for me,
Lord, Thou art mine;
I give myself to Thee,
Savior divine;
Now for Thine own name’s sake,
I full surrender make;
All I possess now take,
All, all is Thine.
That I Thy will may do,
Show me the way;
For this my strength renew
From day to day;
This is my earnest plea,
Thine wholly, Lord, to be,
Serve ever only Thee,
And Thee obey.
