143. Consecrate Me Now

1 Consecrate me now, Jesus, my Redeemer,
Thine alone, and thine forever, Lord, I would be;
Purify my heart, all its dross removing,
Let thine own Eternal Spirit dwell with me.

Refrain:
O my Saviour, come and bless me,
Come in the fulness of love divine;
Consecrate me now, Jesus, my Redeemer,
All I have is on the altar, all is thine.

2 Nearer would I live; nearer, ev’ry moment,
Let my faith with cloudless vision mount up to thee;
Passive in thy hand, by thy will directed,
Still in perfect, calm submission hold thou me. [Refrain]

3 When my work is done, when its cares are over,
When the gates of yonder city joyful I see,
Then before the throne, shouting hallelujah,
I will give the praises and glory, Lord, to thee. [Refrain]
