YES, take them all, my dearest Lord,
However precious they may be,
Tear every idol from my heart,
And let me worship none but Thee.
Thou, Thou alone shalt be my boast,
No other object claims my love,
Wean me from earth, and teach me, Lord,
To set my heart on things above.
Ah, Thou hast set Thy heart on me,
Dear Saviour, what a love is Thine,
Love without end, but oh! alas!
What base ingratitude is mine.
Humbled before Thy feet I fall,
Saviour, uphold and strengthen me,
My Lord, my Life, my all in all,
Thou shalt my only idol be.
