Savior, Thy Dying Love

1 

Savior, Thy dying love

Thou gavest me,

Nor should I aught withhold,

Dear Lord, from Thee:

In love my soul would bow,

My heart fulfill its vow,

Some off'ring bring Thee now,

Something for Thee.

2 

At the blest mercy seat,

Pleading for me,

My feeble faith looks up,

Jesus, to Thee:

Help me the cross to bear,

Thy wondrous love declare,

Some song to raise, or pray'r,

Something for Thee.

3 

Give me a faithful heart,

Likeness to Thee,

That each departing day

Henceforth may see

Some work of love begun,

Some deed of kindness done,

Some wand'rer sought and won,

Something for Thee.

4 

All that I am and have,

Thy gifts so free,

In joy, in grief, thro' life,

Dear Lord, for Thee!

And when Thy face I see,

My ransom'd soul shall be,

Thro' all eternity,

Something for Thee.


Author: S. Dryden Phelps

Here's a lovely choral arrangement of this pretty tune.
