Lord, in the Fullness of My Might

 

VERSE 1

Lord, in the fullness of my might,

I would for Thee be strong:

While runneth o’er each dear delight,

To Thee should soar my song.

 

VERSE 2

I would not give the world my heart,

And then profess Thy love;

I would not feel my strength depart,

And then Thy service prove.

 

VERSE 3

I would not with swift winged zeal

On the world’s errands go,

And labor up the heavenly hill

With weary feet and slow.

 

VERSE 4

O not for Thee my weak desires,

My poorer, baser part!

O not for Thee my fading fires,

The ashes of my heart!

 

VERSE 5

O choose me in my golden time:

In my clear joys have part!

For Thee the glory of my prime,

The fullness of my heart!
