Hymn
Something for Jesus
Saviour! 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.
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.
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.
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.
