Servus Dei
SAVIOUR, to Thee my all I now surrender,
Thine, altogether, Thine alone to be;
For Thou hast ransomed, purchased, and redeemed me
With Thy heart’s blood, upon th’ accursed tree.
2
To pay my debt I see Thee bruised and bleeding,
The spotless Lamb, to bear my sin and shame:
O Saviour, long have I withstood Thy pleading,
Too long withheld from Thee Thy lawful claim.
3
Take all I have, my life, my health, my talents,
And consecrate them to Thy service sweet;
‘Twas from Thy hand they came: behold, I lay them,
A grateful tribute, at Thy sacred feet.
4
Oh, teach me how to tell the wondrous story
Of Thy great love, to sinners far and wide;
To live, to speak, to labour for Thy glory,
The glory of a Saviour crucified!
