_Self-Dedication._ (662)
Welcome, O Savior! to my heart;
Possess thine humble throne;
Bid every rival hence depart,
And claim me for thine own.
2 The world and Satan I forsake,--
To thee I all resign;
My longing heart, O Jesus! take,
And make it all divine.
3 Oh! may I never turn aside,
Nor from thy bosom flee;
Let nothing here my heart divide--
I give it all to thee.
Hugh Bourne, 1825.
