Jesus, Jesus, only Jesus
Can my heartfelt longing still.
Lo, I pledge myself to Jesus,
Evermore to do His will;
For my heart, which He has filled,
Ever cries: “Lord, as Thou wilt.”
2
One there is for whom I’m living,
Whom I love most tenderly;
Unto Jesus I am giving
What in love He gave to me.
Jesus’ blood hides all my guilt;
Lord, O lead me as Thou wilt.
3
What to me may seem a treasure,
But displeasing is to Thee,
O remove such harmful pleasure;
Give instead what profits me.
Let my heart by Thee be stilled;
Make me Thine, Lord, as Thou wilt.
4
Let me earnestly endeavour
Thy good pleasure to fulfil;
In me, through me, with me, ever,
Lord, accomplish Thou Thy will.
Let me die, Lord, on Thee built,
When and where and as Thou wilt.
5
Jesus, constant be my praises,
For Thou unto me didst bring
Thine own self and all Thy graces,
That I joyfully may sing:
“Be it unto me, my Shield,
As Thou wilt, Lord, as Thou wilt.”
